Trotting!

Posted at 08:44 AM on March 05, 2010

Well after going to the school sideways and prancing I decided to bite the bullet and trotted Oz- he was sound!  

At the moment I am very happy but also aware that there is no guarantees.

Oz sound!

Posted at 02:16 PM on February 20, 2010

I trotted him yesterday and he was sound!  No-one knows how long it will last but at the moment its progress.  The vet has advised walking under saddle for ten days, building from 10 to 25 minutes before starting to trot.

Oz at hospital

Posted at 03:14 PM on February 15, 2010

I trotted Oz last Friday and he was lamer in walk and still 2-3/10 in trot.  So today he went to hospital to have his navicular bones injected again.  He was trotted first and the vet could hardly see any lameness, really had to look and it was so minimal, the same after flexion.  He was then lunged on a small circle on the hard and was 2/10 lame and on the soft when it could hardly be seen again.  So much more encouraging.  His naviculars were medicated anyway as the vet had recommended 6 monthly treatments originally.

So fingers crossed that he is sound on Friday.

Heartbreaking

During a schooling session on Saturday Oz went lame.  He has been reshod and he is now on box rest to see if it settles down, before we reassess on Friday. 

Due to the number of complex issues in his feet the options are limited should be not become sound.  My heart is breaking.

Oz has a new home

Oz moved to his new home on boxing day.  He has settled in well and we are enjoying having an indoor school and horse walker to use. 

Happy New Year!

Difficult Decision

Posted at 04:31 PM on December 08, 2009

Due to some health issues and other circumstances I have decided to give up my yard and move Oz to a different yard. 

The move means I will no longer be able to take on liveries but does mean I will be in a position to take on more teaching clients.

 

Freelance Groom required or Reduced Livery offered

Posted at 03:55 PM on November 20, 2009

I am seeking a freelance groom for occasional cover on the yard. 

Alternatively I could offer someone reduced or free livery  in return for a few hours yard work per week.  Must be reliable and flexible and able to do mornings, afternoons and some weekend days (not every week)

Please contact 077 9595 6086 if you are interested.
