Azid is looking really good coming back into work this time. It’s been a long journey, he went lame on my birthday in 2019 and due to compensating for the original injury, a nasty hoof abscess and a tough winter on some very muddy fields we’ve never quite made it back to full training so fingers crossed for this time around.
He’s starting to get that hang of lunging, I don’t like lunging youngsters, I just don’t want them doing so many small circles of young growing joints and they’re usually too unbalanced to really carry themselves around the lunge line. But now Azid is a bit more mature it will become an essential part of our training.
We’ve also been able to go back out mountain biking around Cannock chase, I’m really enjoying learning a new skill, enjoying exercise and getting the thrill of doing something right for the first time. Even though I spend a lot of time in the dirt…..bikes definitely do spook, I’m telling you!!!
