Today i have mostly been...

Nice to see a horse in hi vis :) loving his expression "Mum, do you realise that every side is my good side?" :D

Always go out with it! Only went for a 10 minute stroll but four boots, his noseband and my hi-viz vest! That's what he thinks, I was trying to get a photo of him without the dodgy clip marks!

Your mare looks very pretty :)

Today i went on a hack with 3 other women on the yard, they were all on 17hh+ horses and i was just on my little 13.2hh :D

We were gone for about an hour and a half, it was very nice :)

then practiced putting pony in trailer and drove him up to his field where he pranced out thinking he was somewhere new and took off round the field :D
 
~Went to yard this morning, mucked out, then lunged Ebony. Turned her out nude again as it was a nice warm day again today. Sorted store room out, got some more hay round.Went to see Mum and Dad as mum not very well at the moment, back up yard bed back down, got Ebony in nice and muddy again has had a great time , gave her a really nice groom. Finished pulling mane, trimmed up fetlocks just got in and sat down with a Gin and Bitter lemon. Arr life not too bad on a day like today :)

oo nice clip ;) can i ask what was wrong? they look like SI problem/ kissing spine investigation clips :)

Yes, even if it was only 10 minutes, never worth risking yourself and your horse with those nutters on the roads...

How is the lunging going hun? how is ebony, give her a kiss for me on her nozzle when you see her next :D Hope your mum feels better soon but oi, where is my drink? :mad:
 
I had a lesson this morning which was half fab, half rubbish! Then sat dewn to start an assignment (big fail!), booked a holiday and am now attempting to cook a roast!
 
Her mane looks lovely! One of my boys is in need of being done which I dread! I'v always had to have him iv sedated by the vet, however the last time I tried without he let me (after a lot of persuasion) cut it with scissors. Wasn't perfect but actually looked better than I thought it would! Nowhere near as good as Delicia's though-jealous!!

thank you :D

have you tried a solo comb? maybe worse a shot :)
 
oo nice clip ;) can i ask what was wrong? they look like SI problem/ kissing spine investigation clips :)

He's also got both stifles clipped and the back of his cannon clipped :p

It's SI (as far as we know!). Only result from nerve blocking his entire leg was 50% improvement when the SI was blocked. Nothing on xrays, was treated but hasn't come sound. Went to Rossdales, bone scan showed slight hotspots on his SI on both sides (nothing significant though), rectal ultrasound showed thickening of the middle patella ligament on his stifle on both sides but again nothing extreme. He had steroid injections to his SI and stifle and has 4 weeks box rest with 10 minute walks daily to see if he improves. He was 4/10ths lame at christmas, 2/10ths now.

Hi re t:)he lunging it going really well now, I can manage to stand up for the whole session with out having to sit on the tub which is a real bonus lol, and unless she has a bit of a spack I do not loose my balance now so things are looking up there as well, she is really good at the voice commands and again along with the lessons her balance is so much better so all in all things are good. Your Dee and Ebony are a stunning pair they would look amazing together :) big snog on the muzzle tomorrow morning lol. Oh just been a poured another drink have been waving it at the laptop and you have not taken it so just going to have to drink that one as well, hope your dad not doing too bad, you take care Cheers !!!!!

Glad to hear it :D ebony and dee should do a pas de deux :D

Hi black_horse, I love the way you have responded to your respondents. This has been a lovely thread to read. Cheers.

There is nothing worse then replying to a thread and being ignore imho :)

Oh here you are then, I would hate to get legless !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Now i dont know whether to laugh at that or not, but as i still face this threat, im going to laugh and take the legs out from under you ;)
 
Oh no! Do you mind me asking what he has done? healing vibes being sent your way :)

Well I think it was caused by him being far too fresh and broncing on hard uneven ground a couple of weeks ago - he is on boxrest and hopefully will be right in a week or so (he is generally a hardy sort)

The thing that is annoying is that I am just recovering from a broken wrist so haven't been able to ride since the new year - am hoping nothing else happens :D :D

I have some bubble wrap, do you want to borrow some :)
 
Having moved his majesty to more suitable accommodation - and having gone from full livery back to DIY, I spent the morning mucking out and then went for a smashing hack round the local forest where we had the most blissfully long canter :D

He is already much happier in his new surroundings (well they are not new as we have been on this yard before) and has settled right in.

Glad the move went well! :D

I hated moving dee as i was so worried about the stress affecting her tummy. Best hing i ever did! :D we are also lucky to be situated on a yard with direct access to a beautiful forset and no matter how hard life gets, getting lost on horseback in that forest makes everything so much better :)
