Cooper meets Norman - at last!

[Whatanejit]

Well it has been a long time coming ................. lucky Coops had Norman come to visit today.

As usual there was an audience in the form of the other pones - including Majei who Norm took quite a shine to.

Coffee and introductions were soon followed by a back check. Nothing too sinister found - a little tense in areas that we need to keep an eye out for but we'll continue to mix the ground work with the riding (when we can eventually ride him).

Coops responded to Norms healing hands nicely but not dramatically due to the presence of grass, grass and more grass. It would be nice to give him a treatment when we have access to a stable and he can concentrate a bit more.

Norm listened to Coops and let him eat while he did his work.

A few other physical pointers re the use of the rear off hind and resting his leg to look out for as homework.


He then saw CL66's horse Luke. I'll let her tell her story when she gets in from the rugby :)


Ptaty 70 arrived with Zebadoo, her luscious dog, to lend a helping hand when Coops was determined to eat the oak tree..........

Step away from the tree!!!!!!!
