As for the two boys they are still on the road to recovery. Biggles as you know has been touch and go as to whether he will come back to compete again but he started to look really good when he had another relapse and tweaked his front suspensory, aarrgghh. We think its due to the fact we have solved the original problem but he had been putting stress on other areas to compensate previously which made them weak. This is now the 3rd thing to go wrong so am hoping that means all our bad luck has been used up now... so after yet more time off, shock wave treatment and far too many vet vists for my liking I am back on board and so far we have made it to trot work, will we make it to canter?
Ze is still being treated for his sacrilliac injury and is on limited turnout and walking exercise in straight lines - this week we have started short bursts of trot and have a visit from the chiropractor for him later in the week. We think it will be six more weeks of walk and trot before we can start back to some normality with light schooling then if all goes well we might be out and about competing before Christmas.... fingers crossed!!!
September should be a busy month and will hopefully have lots to report back and also the boys may be doing a bit more than walking in straight lines!
