Hmmmm.........

I noticed a little swelling on Remy's leg this morning,on the inside, about an inch and a half below his knee. It looks like the beginnings of a splint. I've hosed it morning and evening, and put some leg ice clay on it overnight. Hopefully it won't get too big, we'll see.
I took Anky in the school again, started in-hand and then sat on for about 30 minutes. She's definitely making progress, she stretches down on a long rein, is more responsive and forward, and overall, much more relaxed. There's a 'but' in that statement. Today, when asking for leg yield, she started twisting her neck and yawing as if it was uncomfortable. I gave her a longer rein and she stretched down into it. I wonder if I'm doing too much - although I only work at walk and give her plenty of breaks on a long rein. Perhaps it's because she's started to give a little and is starting to use muscles differently, so they're tiring easily?  Perhaps I'm asking too much of her, I don't know, I just hope we're heading in the right direction and not cocking it up big-time.
