The new yard farrier is a lovely chap and has tried putting a little more support on the outside of Ambers hinds, so we'll see how that goes. She was excellent for my trainer to ride, back in the outdoor arena for the first time this year and didn't put a hoof wrong. It was lovely to sit back and watch them go. Then I had 15 mins sit, and all went well. I need to focus on straightness and keeping connection through the transitions now, which is hard work for my addled old brain—also, steering with my knees? This is a novel concept but seems to work well. Dentists on Sunday went well, all routine, nothing to worry about and see us in 12-months sort of thing I rode again in the afternoon back outdoors with kids, dogs and DIY going on, and she was again as good as gold. A few moments of unsettled head carriage, but I'm putting that down to the new teeth.
