has come back...
ALL CLEAR!!!!!
The vet came, check him over and got me to trot him up a few times and said "Yep, you can get on and go when you want!"
And I did just that
I hopped on and rode to the next village over across the fields! It was a challenging ride - He's not been ridden since mid-may!!
He wasn't strong or silly, even in probably the biggest, most open field he's ever seen, but he was pretty spooky. He had to contend with a swivel chair, rabid (not really) dogs, wheelie bins and ducks!! He was very very good considering, I didn't feel unsafe at any time.
Of course, we're just going to do walking rides for a while, probably to the next village and around my village. I think I'll spend the winter fittening him up, so I can get on and do stuff next year in the summer
I am thrilled. I feel like I have my horse back!
Out and about!
Just got back
Back in the field with his friend! (thankfully Cookie doesn't mind being left!)
