Quickie

Just a quick post cos ive got to get up at 5am to drive up to Scotland for a dog show...its a biggie so wish us luck!

Anyway rode Polo at the start of the week and he was definitely in discomfort so short walk and back. He's also started chewing the fences which is something he's never done.Not sure what going on no diet change im wondering if its pain related,ive given him a couple of good doses of Ranitidene incase its acid but he's never done this before?I gave him some bute today wont help the tum but if is pain then it'll help that ..hard to know what to do.Physio is booked to come next week at last so once he's been out he'll chat to vet and hopefull have some sort of idea of whats going on and treatment.Im convinced its his shoulder now so doubt anything can be done other than manage the pain when it comes and be ultra carefull with him.:(

Alig has a lunging session tuesday and rode out on a hack yesterday AND wait for it........he was pretty darn good again.Still a little of the ears back but its definitely getting shorter and more half-hearted.We did the same ride that nearly killed him last week and he managed much better,its been much cooler which helps.He had us in fits at one point as there were some men resurfacing the tracks and they had a large white bag in amongst other things,AliG just had to have a look.So he grabbed the bag and lifted it which moved all the other 'things' which then gave him a fright,he shot up in the air off all four feet then landed in the same spot and went straight back to do the same thing!M said it was the funniest thing she's ever seen.

Oops not so short after all anyway off to bed to 'try' and sleep!
