Started the day with Remy in the school, a short lungeing and in-hand session. He was a little distracted by the farmer mowing the field, but started to relax and did some good work. Followed up with Anky in the school and we had a good lungeing session. She's beginning to loosen up on the left rein and there's less of a difference between the two reins. She stretched nicely in the trot with good rhythm.
Corky started with a runny nose over the weekend, not too horrid, but just from one nostril. I suspected a sinus infection and the vet came out this afternoon and confirmed it. He took a couple of x-rays and we could see the frontal passages were blocked. He's given us a 10 day course of Antibiotics, steroids (thankfully,only at a low dose) to help the inflammation and we're going to treat topically with a betadine solution. Good old Corky actually tolerates this being sprayed up her nose.
So, this morning, horses worked, tack cleaned, car dropped off at the garage for a couple of small jobs,cherries picked,roses dead-headed and finished painting the stables.. This afternoon we had friends call round to visit and check on Jim, the vet appointment and garden fully watered. Like I said, it was all go!

Blinkin' 'eck girl, that wore me out just reading it, you must be pretty fit now. Hope Corky's well soon. Anky is making great progress.
Yes, get well soon, Corky!
