Long Blog Break

I have taken a long break from the blog. I've been busy with both work, private life and my horses, so when I finally got home, I've went straight to bed!
Much is happening in these times, there are big plans ahead. I'll share my new fantastic news, when everything is 100% decided.

I'll start with the positive. It goes really well with Victor. Peter sees excellent progress, his trot has become much more free and less hassled. He has been far more willing to work, which indicates that the pain has been reduced.

Negative news is that Giga has been lame the last 14 days. The farrier took a look at her hooves, he found a crush in her one hind hoof, which approximately corresponds to we get a bad bruise. However, it is a sore point in the hoof, so just as I was in a good flow with the training I have had to put it all on hold. She's already much better, but it still so annoying now that I finally have been very motivated and got the spark back. But so it is with horses when you least expect it  something happens.

The farrier recommended that I bathed her hoof every day, just as a precaution if there would be little bacteria.

It's been a hell as Giga HATES getting wet legs. So it has taken me many hours, but we have come to a compromise. She keeps the hoof in the bucket, but she won't step fully down but she stands and dips the hoof up and down in the water :-D  Well as long as it gets washed, it is okay.

She looks simply so miserably in this picture. She looks almost mistreated, even though I have oftret half a dozen apples.
