So, some months ago, my horse was injured badly by our neighbour's goats. At one point, we honestly thought he would have to be pts due to the infection in his hock.
But...
He made it! Three months ago I rode him again for the first time and yesterday, another major landmark, our first competition!

Practicing jumps at home.

He really took off with me from the first jump!

Think he's enjoying himself!

And we went clear!!
He gave me a lovely feeling the whole way round, very forwards and fun to ride but without being silly. Looked after me over a couple of the jumps for sure.
