landed on his feet !!! thatsmygirl 29-09-12, 08:05 PM Thanks goldenstar I love him to pieces he's just such a softy who has a heart of gold. He had 2 failed ops on his breathing but for what he's going to do with me he will be just fine. It was either me have him or he was going to the sales. I'm so glade I was offered him before he went to the sales as I would of been gutted. bikerchickone 29-09-12, 08:09 PM Sorry TMG, only just got back to your thread. My lad is good thanks, had a bit of a hiccup when he got into lush grass last week but he's back to rock crunching now so I'm happy. We did a flatwork clinic today and all went very well, no sign of any unsoundness whatsoever according to instructor, and she has an eagle eye for it! Don't worry about the shape of his feet, he'll grow what he needs and wear it off himself when he doesn't need it anymore. If you can get him to tarmac and ride a few miles a couple of times a week that'll help him self trim too. Must admit I had my doubts about riding a horse that I wasn't sure was completely happy on stones on the road but they do find smooth tarmac quite comfortable. Nic's advice from Rockley was to do as much as I could on a comfortable surface like tarmac to keep him
