I'm sure you will have loads of fun and make lots of memories with them.
Thank you so much ? Well everything was going well but he went mildly lame a few months ago so I had X-rays of his feet (that’s where the nerve block located the problem) and his back and it turns out he has very mild arthritis and suspiciously close vertebrae (which would explain his random outbursts when ridden) The vet was keen to inject local anaesthetic into the spine and do more tests but at that point I just thought enough is enough - he’s 17 now and it’s time for him to just relax and enjoy life with his field buddies. I had his shoes taken off and it’s the best thing I’ve done. I’m fact, Ive just come home from lunging him and he looks perfectly sound in trot! So from now on we are just doing in hand stuff and he really enjoys going for walks, so I’m very happy ???
That is so very kind of you - thank you so much, it really means a lot to me x
Happy riding.
