Oh happy days! The horses began their schooling in earnest today 
So happy!
Dusky Blue is showing no signs of problems with her stifle and it is the good Doctor S’s opinion that becoming fit will only benefit the joint, as the muscles will support the ligament
Debenhams is sound as a bell… I believe the Lord had a hand in her miraculous recovery from the puff adder bite… Good stuff!
Oh, I know, she's like a hairy monster! 3 months rest will do it to any horse!
We started with a single pole, all good...
Working in trot over the poles
The exercise was to work up to a line of bounces, we trotted over them intermittently to make her both listen and also think for herself with regards to placing her feet, as the distance was for canter not trot… she managed wonderfully, as you can see
In canter, oh and she was an eager beaver!

We are all so excited for this coming year! The lovely Miss S is riding her in competition this year again. Both horses are so different in both shape and temperament, so its a great learning curve for S.
Be Good X
