As you may know I have 2 horses both at different yards until the end of the month.
My gelding has just come sound after having about 8 weeks off, rode him last saturday, bit on his toes and bucking. Turned him out and he double barrelled me in the chest so no riding on sunday :-( .
Started a new job on Monday so haven't been able to see him all week to ride, as mum finished work before me so went to sort him out.
Fingers crossed I get to ride him today.
My mare came on 1st June with 3 shoes on, got my farrier out a week later (earliest he could do) who took the remaining back shoe off to balance her up until he can come to put a full set on. I've ridden her once since I've had her. She lost another shoe last week and is now lame :-( farrier coming on Monday. So all week I've not been able to ride her. Not a problem as she is a quiet tb.
Anyway what I think I'm getting at is I have 2 horses that I've not been able to ride properly for ages. Roll on the end of the month when I can ride after work! Fingers crossed they will both be sound.
I have biscuits and tea for anyone who gets this far.
