So it's been a while since the last post. The little lady has been very poorly. I got a really long holiday and she says I've lost weight and topline, like that's a bad thing.......she always talks about losing weight. She lost loads being ill but said Santa came and put it all back on. Bad Santa.
We've had a few nice hacks but I've been a bit uncomfortable with my neck and pelvis and last week I got an abcess. My farrier took my shoe off and the little one has been bandaging it.
Got a visit from the chiro Fiona and she has made me feel much better. I still get another couple of days off though cos shoe isn't on yet 😁.
The photo s are from a few days ago when our lovely friend Amanda gave me a bale of hay to try. It was yum.
Batten down the hatches and see you on the other side xx

Happy 13th birthday to this handsome lad. Almost wasn't here after some vet advicein March. Thankfully a 2nd opinion was sought and after a poultice and 3 chiro sessions I'm back riding and no headshaking....... Next step pollen season 🤦🏻‍♀️. Happy birthday big man, keep being the big gentle giant you are. ### 🎂 🥕

Happy 12th birthday to this big lad. Hopefully get back to doing things soon. Training and rehab is going well....... Not so sure he is impressed with his birthday supplement, it should help him greatly. Hope to be bringing more updates soon. He has had a chill out day today with lots of carrots and treats galore xx

Well it’s been a long time coming but the boy is back to light training! Fingers crossed this time he stays injury free, it’s been a long haul but he is now Finally on the road to recovery.

Well we finally made it for round 2 of treatment. Double whammy of hocks and sacroiliacs to be done. A few days rest, some light work and then back at it. We will get out and about this season....fingers crossed.
A huge ginormous thanks to Ryan who explains things so well and is genuinely interested in his work.....and enjoys it most of the time. Huge thanks to Yvette who just basically knows her sh*t 😂 and to Tim for spreading that beautiful fragrance everywhere 🤣 (extremely pongy horse foot) and being marker man.
Last but not least, mega thanks and gratitude to Neena for offering her taxi services. Without her it wouldn't have been done in a sanitary place.

Sooooooo this other little lady came back to visit today, her name is Fiona too. Are all little ladies called Fiona? It hurts a little bit when she touches my back. She brought little Maizie again. My little person won't let her down, she says she is cute.....silly little creature. Anyway, she rubs and pushes and pulls and then she stuck things in my back......but I stood still and was very good. I saw she was finished but I had to show her my sore foot before she went away. Luckily she is an animal doctor too as well as a back rubber, push n puller. She saw I had a sore bit and has told my little lady to put a bandage on. Need to see how I feel tomorrow. I think my little lady is stressed. Me, I'm happily eating hay and food and carrots 🥕 🐴
