It's been a while since I posted but we have good news here!!!
Chester went to the vets on Friday for his check up and got his final sign-off! Yippee!!! We celebrated by going for our first gallop on Sunday and I may have cried happy tears 😅

Those with keen eyes may notice that I have clipped Chester and he's a non-spotted giraffe 🦒 🐎

With the crazy warm weather he was really struggling, so I gave him an emergency clip a week ago.
A giraffe clip wouldn't have been sufficient with the thick winter coat he had grown, so I did a full covercote clip with blended legs and blended half face. I was gutted that I couldn't do the giraffe clip but boy, am I glad I went for it! He's felt so much better and I think he looks absolutely incredible too - so fit and healthy! Not bad for approaching 20 years young 😍 💪

Hopefully he'll grow enough coat back for me to do the giraffe clip later this winter... 🦒

Look who had a clip this weekend!!! Doesn't he look beautifully shiny?! 😍 ✨️🦒

Fun fact, Chester was the first horse I ever clipped and it's all thanks to him that I was able to start it as my own little business! He's the best business partner and brand ambassador!
As it's all down to him, my clipping business is named after him - Brave'Art Equestrian Creative Clipping 🥰

I will be bombarding you with many more pictures and videos of his new haircut - my phone is already full of them!

A few days ago it was Chester's 19th birthday! 🥳 🎂
We celebrated in our usual tradition by going on a riding holiday and he got his much loved birthday cake 😋
Unfortunately I forgot the party hats but he's wearing his beautiful "birthday boy" sash from Sunset Ocean Designs 🥰💚
Taz at Logan's Run Equine Transport carefully transported Chester as well as his birthday cake made by me! 😂

Me and Chester had our first lesson of his rehab! 🙌

The very wonderful Martha Lindsell gave us lots of things to play around with and this was my favourite - riding with your eyes shut, then tipping forwards and backwards to feel how it could influence Chester's movement.
In this picture I have my eyes shut and felt like my head was really tipped back, yet in reality it looks just right!

There is always a light bulb 💡 moment in a lesson with Martha Lindsell Horsemanship 😁

A few days ago me and Chester went on our longest hack yet!
We had a few long canters and he felt absolutely incredible, pulling to go faster!
He had several prancey dances too - I don't know who enjoyed it more! 😁😁😁
So pleased with him!!!

*Sound on* Chester says happy Easter bank holiday everyone!!! 🐣

Last night me and Chester went on our first ba****ck ride in 4 months!!!

I haven't wanted to risk it during his rehab as he's been too unpredictable, but I have missed it so much!

Now he's out 24/7 he's much calmer so off we went. It was absolutely wonderful and I felt so secure that we walked, trotted and cantered 😁

What wasn't nice is that I got absolutely COVERED in loose hair from him shedding but Chester found it rather amusing and laughed at me 🙄🤣

Chester's 3rd checkup at Hird and Partners Shelf Equine Hospital today and we got GOOD NEWS!!! 😁😁😁

His left hind with the old injury is stable and his right hind with the new injury is healing really well!

We also got the green light to go on holiday for his birthday, so watch this space - it's not far away now!

Chester has been a little hesitatant to load since his injury too so when we got back home, Taz at Logan's Run Equine Transport let us go off and on the horsebox a few times - Chester is now back to being a pro at loading 🥰

All round, a great morning and I'm so happy with my miracle boy 🥰🥰🥰

We are so lucky to have a great team that have supported Chester's recovery so far. Extra special thanks to my dad (who came to every appointment), Taz at Logan's Run Equine Transport, Christian at Hirds, Kathy at KB Equine Therapy, Partnership for Performance, our farrier Craig, and Sarah at White Rose Vet Physio who did INDIBA Animal Health treatment 💖
