Here is a little video I took of her yesterday being ridden by a friend of mine as I wanted to see how she looks.

Through out the whole operation, rehab and being ridden again she has been an absolute star and I definitely have a much happier horse under saddle. In september 2010 she had 4 dorsal spinous process removed in a standing op.
I started to ride her again at the end of January 2011 and spent all the summer just quietly hacking her around the country side. We did have a bit of a setback in May when she went lame in one front leg. No bony changes were noted on the xrays so with the vets permission and slight shoeing adjustments I just kept on hacking her and she came good.
I started to school her in October 2011 and she came on well but I found that she wasn't completely happy to canter in a more rounded frame. She would keep changing legs in an effort to balance herself. so I have just gone back to cantering her slightly out of the saddle in an effort to help her build strenght and confidence.
There is hope for horses like mine who originally had 7 impinging vertabrae. Let me know your opinions please
