Long time no update

I’ve not updated for a couple of weeks! Things have been totally mad. The GBPRE show was a lot of fun but completely exhausting and work has been kicking my arse pretty seriously so there’s been limited pony time and no real capacity for me to learn new stuff with him at the moment. I just don’t have the brain power. So we’ve gone back to simple things which I would prefer not to use but can live with: for the past two weeks and the next while we’re using the pessoa three times a week for a short session. I’m still doing some ST work and smaller bits of CT but I just need to get him moving properly through that hip and build up some topline so the quick and dirty way to do that is to pessoa him.

Serious working pony

As I don’t like this I’ve splashed some pretty serious cash on one of these: https://www.thehorsephysio.co.uk/QuickShop/equiband/. It’s got some proper research done by RVC that says it genuinely does help and it doesn’t have the link to the bit that bothers me about the pessoa. It may not arrive for a while though so until then we’re sticking with the pessoa. I really want to get hacking but it’s just not been possible for a number of reasons. Trying to keep things varied and work in the fields and bit and stuff but I really want to get up to the Forest.

I will try and have a bit more of a coherent plan in a few weeks but I feel like we just need to hang in there for a bit at the minute.
