New hacking track

I went back with Remy today to check if the little gap in the hedge could be a shortcut through to the really nice grassy track ride. Jim came along with us and moved a few fallen branches, pulled back a few small holly branches and, hey presto, we were able to get through.
Remy was pretty chilled, so we continued along the track. We went on ahead, Jim following behind, and Remy was really forward and curious. He seemed to be enjoying it so we went for quite a way before deciding to turn for home. We need to do a lot more of this, it really gets him opening up and using himself. We had a couple of nice, balanced trots on the way home.
I didn't have time to do anything with Bonbon, as Gareth arrived to trim their feet.

Sounds lovely...and it is the perfect weather for hacking out. How were their feet? How's Rem's sulcus infection?

They're fine Sarah. It's Bonbon who had a slight infection - it's pretty much gone now but the central sulcus is still deep and a bit soft. I'm going to have to keep an eye on it.
