Yesterday the temps topped out up over 90 degrees. It certainly felt like summer around here! I only got Beau on the line once- it was just too hot! He got clearance for 5 mins of trotting twice a day- on the lunge line. So, we walk out to the back side of the field to use the 
level area there for our sessions. He was a bit unsure when we first started- it was a bit of back to basics for him. But, after a few days he seems to remember just fine! I also think that some of it is a bit of herd separation anxiety. It was beginning to be a problem last fall and I bet some of him inattentiveness and distraction is from that too- not just being rusty! He looks pretty good right?! This is with the left leg on the inside, so I'm pretty happy with the push here- but we shall see what the vets say on tuesday when he goes back to the clinic. In an effort to keep the mister happy, I left Poke and Anna in the field while we worked- this way he had no excuses to be naughty. Id like to address some of the separation issues, but when we are rehabbing doesn't seem like the right time. I just want to keep him calm and quiet and keep up with the program they have given me to ensure the best possible outcome!

Then, since it was so hot Beau had a bath! He really needed it- he has a very dandery coat and a whole winters worth of crud was suds out! I'm hapy with the start, but it will be a few more soapings until he is really squeeky clean!
Has he ever worked out in his high heels before? You might need to give him some time to adapt to the foot fall with those shoes on! Of course, I know nothing and can see nothing!
ReplyDeleteAhh, look at Beau!! He looks good! Such an awesome extension and collection! Old pro! I am glad he is doing better!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you found a five leaf clover! That is crazy! I have never found a four leaf one! Lucky gal you!! And I hope it's luck rubs off on Beau!
