Hacked Anky out today with Jim riding Corky. We had a lovely ride, Anky started out a little sticky but soon relaxed and started to stretch. She feels very nice when she's forward and relaxed.I've noticed a gradual, but real change in her movement since starting the treatment for her ulcers. She is far less braced and she is softer in her mouth. The flexion work is easier.
Lunged Remy again, he was very well behaved and attentive, I'm so proud of him.
Arranged an appointment with a barefoot trimmer for Friday so I'll have to start researching the various types of boot available. Corky has very flat feet and was a little footy when barefoot (whilst in foal) , but I'm hoping with the skills of a good trimmer and boots and pads where necessary, she'll manage. As long as she's sound in the field we can cater for her when being ridden.

have to say i think i'm lucky, never had to think about boots for horse...
Can you ride Molly without boots Claire? It's good if you can, she must have good feet.
Glad the ulcer treatment seems to be helping Anky!
Just catching up! Interesting report on saddles! Why is it that we always prefer the most expensive!!
And re European Eventing Champs - huh!! Haven't even heard a mention of it here. Don't think it was covered at all on TV (don't have Sky).
Is Gareth the trimmer who's coming?
Yes, it's Gareth, I'm looking forward to it!
yup, di, can do anything with molly without boots, never owned a pair.
