You and I should both be getting back on board at roughly the same time, because his op is so much less invasive than what Paddy needed.<br /><br />I'll be thinking of you as I get back on!<br /><br />Ccptrayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564275580390738561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-90429810675318699092013-08-29T12:33:21.715+01:002013-08-29T12:33:21.715+01:00Yes Caroline, paddy's are like mushroom tops -...Yes Caroline, paddy's are like mushroom tops - you can see how it could easily have happened - soft cartilage/bone being squashed into that shape from sitting in him at a young age with a flat saddle and heavy rider!!<br />His movement is loads better now & I am going to start lunging him this weekend, free to start with, then with a chambon, then will add a bungee round his bottom. I will build up to using poles to really get him using his back. 6 weeks of that, then hopefully get the all clear from the vets to get on him!

Ace's don't have any of that, there just isn't any gap between them - at all. Stuck together from top to bottom.<br /><br />Well done Paddy, I'm following your progress.<br /><br />Ccptrayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564275580390738561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-40457112644018231372013-08-29T12:09:53.930+01:002013-08-29T12:09:53.930+01:00I can't believe that it will have been a year ...I can't believe that it will have been a year that he won't have been ridden for - the judge said that once his back & bottom have muscled up to match his front end he will be a very powerful horse.....
