Hi
Not been on for a wee while but had some fabby news - Pete(vet ) came out yesterday after our carfully managed 12 week walk trot plan and gave us go ahead as he was super happy Cloudy 100%. Just not to go crazy and build up still gradually as strength will take time. But canter now can be introduced and start some jumping in around 4 weeks.
So finally after 10 months we have come through.
Just wanted to pass on some god news so those in similar positions do see light at end of tunnel.
He is a large chap and prob benefit in long run Pete says from taking it all very slowly, I am over the moon as was a long trawl. And when i first came on here looking initially for info I only read bad news so wanted to give some positive news to others.
I hate to think what I have spent on Physio sessions and vet fees but hey he is special and worth every penny.
Please if anyone ahs similar issues please take your time - its the right approach and may be a long haul but the horse will be beter for it.
Sorry for essay just so pleased and happy happy happy - even had a small 1/2 lesson last night and he was super. Just got some pointers on the connection and straightness - have video so will post later.
cheers
Tia
