SOunds like y'all had an absolute ball Buggsy - well done all round: incl the school for being so happily proactive. Good going.

Wednesday last, PT. Put through paces, and some new exercises. Gotta practice in between. Definite improvement in neck, can turn and 'almost' look over shoulder, but still unable to put head side-to-side (towards shoulder, each side). Balance still appalling, he is making me work on that. Can sit a horse OK but not really stand on one leg without wobbling all over the place!

Nice guy, really doing his best for me.

Thursday, driving pony. This time out in the park, along the tracks. He was a bit of a poop. Leaving the yard a big ride went out, and he got real excited, dancing and rpancing... Then, whilst out the ride needed to get past us, so pulled right over, but he thought, Yea, let's go play catch up...'started' to consider a 'tank opff' but held him back, hold and release, hold and release. Got him to listen to 'me' but he wasn't a really happy bunny boy as he was more intent on joining the ride! Soon got him settled, and onwards we went. Did some hill work and some trotting - he has a comfortable trot to drive to and the ground under was not too rutted nor poached up.

Back to the yard and a spanking stop, right to the tie up. Good boy. Gave him a nice rub down, and some strokes on his neck. He did good.

Will be driving a different pony next time - that will be 17 March as half term now, and school is closed for the duration.
