What next?

Clyde slipped whilst being loaded and ruptured his peroneus tertius tendon(sp?) He has now been on box rest for over 10 weeks. He is now on resricted grazing and seems to have healed well. I took him out today for a walk in-hand around the village and he thoroughly enjoyed it. So, when should I actually ride him again? I will obviously take it very slowly. Should I continue the in-hand walking for about 4 weeks before I ride him? Or longer? Advice gratefully received.

Can't help you with this one - I would say get a vet to examine him again and advise you as to a training regime. Personally I would take a more conservative approach than pushing on too much and possibly setting yourself and him back.
Good luck and I hope things improve for you.

I think you should get your vets opinion as there going to know his treatment & injury the best

Good luck hope he gets well soon
