Little Cob - Tying-up: Update...

[MrsMozart]

After four weeks box rest he went back into work today!

As there is a big hill in the field, he has to be kept stabled for another week, but he can be ridden out, slowly building up time and gaits .

Today was ten minutes walk... We are assuming that 'walk' allows for the Spanish Walk, a touch of Airs Above the Ground, a Damn Impressive Cat Leap (followed swiftly by a Let's Punch the Air with Our Front Hooves - which nicely got D1 back into the saddle ), and Some General Shenanigans of the There-is-a-Pony-Eating-Bag variety.

Daughter and Little Cob both very happy indeed

Good news then
I have to say, D1 looks ever so sweet in BP and High Vis

 

[LauraWheeler]

Bless him. I hope he's up and going,fit and well again soon.

But all cobs are quiet and boring and suitable for a novice?

Was he something like this ---->

(but not green!!)

 

[MrsMozart]

Yup - someone suggested the other day that I sell my young Dutch Warmblood and buy a nice steady cob instead - I blanched and got back on my DWB and felt so much safer rofl.

As to the green, D1 was looking fairly green lol. I had put a hat and gloves on, and I'm damn glad I did lol. The daft loon (he can't half shift, and he gets good air!) .

Maybe he's a PRE in disguise?

He has a very cute face though- butter wouldn't melt!

 

[MrsMozart]

Thank you LW

M - oh yes . I had visions of them taking off into the early morning haze! As it was, some arful drive sped round the bend onto the lane, straight into the sun - good chance that if we weren't lit up like beleisher(sp!) beacons we would have been squidged

Hm. Well disguised me thinks lol

I just love the glint in his eye! I;ve got a an older, blacker, hogged and trimmed and altogether more devious version at home. A friend at our yard calls it 'Having a touch of the cobs'. How right she is.

Tying up? You might need to tie your kangaroo down sport after that performance today as that's quite a Skippy impression - but good to hear he's feeling full of beans Bet your daughter is just so pleased to be back on board.

 

[MrsMozart]

T - you are so right lol

MD - I did feel guilty for 'letting' him do it (had visions of vet breathing down my neck lol), but didn't have much choice lol . Considering how long he's been in, we had to let him off . Daughter is ecstatic . She was grinning so much I didn't even have the heart to have a go when she had my phone and I had to go back for it (after setting off for work lol) - just that huge grin
