Harry seems to be getting back to normal, recovering from his chill and with the help of vit B supplements and lots of oats, we certainly felt their effects on this evening hack. He powered up the hills and was very full of life. A quick canter on the verge didn't stop when the verge did! Thankfully a quiet lane!!
Things are good at the moment. My teaching is ticking along, but is not as manic as it was a few weeks ago and in someways it is nice to have a bit of a break from things and to spend time doing those jobs that are always on the back burner. Deli is looking rather well, having come through what has been a particularly harsh winter looking half her age. She seems to be enjoying her hacking with young Jess Buckle. Long may it continue.
Harry, is looking good, the oats and Vit B supplement seem to have helped pick him up, plus the change in his hacking, all a little faster and madder. Ditch jumping is a definite must when we are in the forest. I now have the Ride-Alert tags and hat patches which I think are a very good idea.
Pluto, is starting vet investigations to see what exactly is going on - this horse is such a wonderful creature, he brings tears to my eyes whenever I go and work him. He is just so keen to be worked and is loving all the small bits of parelli that I am capable of doing with him. The circling game seems to be coming along well, and whether I should or not, we often do this with him off the rope. This way I can watch and observe his movement when he is at liberty the most.
I also need to focus some of my attention on to Frankie - if I do not get in to the habit of it, then the shooting season will be upon us, and I will have done very little training of what could be a very special dog.
