Its been almost a year since pony was diagnosed with PSD and Navicular. I was meant to go to a little local dressage test yesterday but transport let us down so I decided not to waste my day off and go for a little hack to the local XC course. He is finally hacking by himself again, I made a post a while ago as the lil ****** started napping! *touch wood* we seem to be over that now.
My main aim at XC was to get him through water as we have a lot of trouble with that and puddles on the road and then just pop over a few littlies and have fun. Before hacking down I changed my noseband to a grackle and had a little ride in the school which im glad I did as he was wild but I did get some okish work out of him:
When we arrived at the venue he was even more wild and I had a brake and steering malfunction. After a hair raising warm up and an almost fall at the first log we tried I needed to man up a bit!
I then headed to the water where we had some rears, bucks and spins and I decided to get off and lead him in to the water.
It worked!
We then seemed to get in the swing of things and had a great time
Very pleased with my little man who was written off by so many people. It goes to show that hard work, patience and dedication pays off.
