Update on the boys... :D

[Pixxie]

well, the good news first... i rode Teddy for the first time today since getting him and had a lesson on him and my god what a star he was so so good, got him working in a lovely outline throughout and the most beautiful elevated canter i think ive ever had the pleasure to experience. twas fab what a good boy.

Marley is happy and enjoying life and very happy with his friendys, had the vet out for him yesterday and today, and Marley has a visual deficeit in his left eye we dont think he can see behind his shoulder so if i ride him and put leg on it as if its come from nowhere and he also has a weakness in the left hind, the vet thinks the leg could be neurological because he is actually sound or it could be he is just generally weaker that side, but coupled with the eye no wonder he finds it all a bit difficult, poor boy. we have an eye specialist coming out early part of next week hopefully so....vibes for Marley please xx

That's fab. Good to know that Marley's not just a little bugger for the sake of it then!

Hey Pixx

What a good update! Glad you've found something that could be the root of Marleys 'issues.' Was wondering if you'd ridden the big man

xx

 

[Pixxie]

yes in a wierd way it was kind of relieving to know that something is going on with him, bless his little heart 1/4 of a eye and a weak leg all on the same side, no wonder he struggles

and yes big fella was ridden today poor boy was knackered only did 30mins but he was very very good looky but thats to be expected and was just wonderful, his canter...YUM...i really contained him and got him moving from behind and he was uphill and beautiful i couldve sat to it all day long. floated

Sounds a bit like Darce! I could sit to his canter aaaaaaaaaaall day. Did you go to Hartbury by the way? Sorry to hijack

That's great about Teddy! When do i get to see the wonder boy in action? (and take marley for his walk, no i haven't forgotten

)
And, as said above, good that you have actually found a reason for Marley's problems

vibes for him xxxx

 

[Pixxie]
