Gareth (barefoot trimmer) came yesterday and all the horses were fine, especially Corky and Anky transitioning from having their shoes taken off. I had yet another opinion on Anky which was that I should ride her ( light hacking) to see if it helps. I've considered this many times, and, in fact, when she's been well I've exercised her by lungeing, it's just that when she is well I'm loathe to do anything that might change that. I know myself that exercise would help with her digestion so I made the decision to just do it and see what happens.
She's been good for several days now, eating and behaving like any other horse so today I rode her. Jim and I went for a hack, she was absolutely fine, I'd even say willing LOL, she didn't feel tight through her back and I know she was ok as she kept trying to eat grass as we walked along. The weather's been good to me today, it's beautiful,sunny and warm. I'm off to mow the lawn.
