Lovely day!

The sun was shining..actually shining so I rode both boys today and enjoyed it hugely:)

I went out for a hour on Polo with M and Ellie,he felt like he was walking freer and striding out better but he was still doing the dropping shoulder..only a couple of times but im still quite worried about it.Never the less it was a nice hack and he still managed a whopping buck on the way home as Ellie decided to take off.It was a full backend up almost handstand buck which are easy to sit to so he's obviously not feeling a huge amount of pain to feel fresh enough to do that,it wasnt his objectional head between the knees bronc:)

I hadnt planned on riding AliG as I was running short of time but YO asked if I fancied a quick ride,I thought it would be a good test to see how he behaved with another horse so borrowed M's SBS as I hadnt brought his saddle and we had a smashing ride along the lane.Ali walked out well and didnt put a foot wrong so thats confirmed the issue's with Ellie and the faces she's pulling at him.On the way back a HUGE tarmac lorry came up behind us ,bear in mine the lane is pretty narrow I asked AliG to stand and let the lorry past, it was so close I could have reached out and touched it.He didnt have and ounce of tension in his body just turned to look and followed it down the lane I was very impressed Polo would have had a hairy canary at it:))

Phoned vet when I got home and explained he was still dropping his shoulder but felt a bit freer so I would like to give the Adequan a try then see what happened,she agreed this was a good place to start.Im picked injections up on Friday it'd like to start them sooner but I wont get time through the week as Im only away from work from 9.30tii 4 Mon to Fri and the vets a good distance away so Friday it will have to be!
