I brought Flynn back into work 2 weeks ago.
A couple of reason,s but 1 was down to his size, if I left it nearer to the spring grass arriving explosive Horse I felt!
The first time I sat on him, was strange, as I felt a little like when he was first backed and the unknown likelyhood of how he would react.
I had no worries, Flynn was so good. All instruction still in those memory cells.
But I have to say the rest off has been obviously good for him.
I could not get over the trot, when I asked, it was so light, and springy. As is he had springs under his feet. I felt we floated along.
But as some may have seen I am the lame one now, so Melissa is covering for me. We have not gone back into heavy work, it has been a gradual process and at present with limited spaces available in the school at night also restrict us. So far only once or twice a week is managed, for max total. Plus Sat & Suns
I have so say, I am so pleased as the trot has just got better and better. We have him going through trot poles, and he has floated, being very careful. Where in the past he could be clumsy at times.
Today we brought in a raised pole at side of the school boundry, also a blue plastic sheet on the ground, (our pretend water!) to make sure he still copes with the unusal again.
He just popped over it so neatly, clear and careful, making such a lovely shape. Landing in a lovely balanced canter, so much more Up Canter then ever before. We never expected that result.
Melissa sat there beeming, she said he was so comfortable.
He did so well, the poles beautifully, then a raised pole, and then the plastic water with small pole over it. PLus the Canter and trot so much improved. He had breaks in between.
We did not push it, it was superb, short, quality, and left there.
Melissa then took him out for a bit of fun on the open grassland.
You could see him grinning!
I am well chuffed. I cant wait to get back on, but advice is to take this slowly and get a better long term recovery. I am going to do that.
I had no idea how this would work out, but so far I sit back and feel very pleased with Our Work so far.
I am lucky to have such a good horse though. The ingrediants were there, I just have to get the receipe right. So far it is coming out not bad to our eyes.
