silkyraven | Another rainy week gone by...

Did I mention about how much I hate this rain? Really bored now. It’s really hard to get any consistent work done as the surface in the school is so squidgy and weather makes me feel sad and unmotivated. Ah well. Spring soon? Maybe?

Pony is still beautiful <3

We’ve had another slow week in many ways but there’s been a lot of routine stuff ticked off. He’s had his jabs for another year and his teeth checked. They seem ok, although as ever we fear we might have trouble in the future due to the uneven wear of the teeth around the gap. Nothing we can do about that so we’ll just have to keep on top of it but it might mean we lose teeth a bit down the line. He’s fine at the moment though.

David, the osteopath, was back out and he’s pleased with his progress! There is some stiffness in the left hip but only a bit that needed tweaking which is amazing compared to where we were!!! So that’s good news. And he’s had his feet trimmed. All good there too.

This week is supposed to be cold, but dry. I need to try and make this a decent riding week; Katie will out on Wednesday for our next lesson and I would like to have made some progress. I’m going to try lunging him with his saddle and bit on today before riding him to see if that helps get him moving at all. Watch this space?
