alternating horses...

last night Charlie, tonight Monfils...

It was funny last night; i called charlie .. Monfils came, when normally he doesn't i have to go get him .. so he was quite miffed when i led Charlie off for some work!

Charlie lunges nicely  - not as nicely for me as for Gaynor, as i'm out of practice and of course a slightly different technique...

last night i put the roller and sidereins on, but half wished i hadn't...IMHO needs a pad under the roller, and couldn't decide what i thought correct length for the sidereins should be...

he went much better left than right...

and when i turned him out, Monfils wasn't too far away and pleased to see me

tonight, M by the gate so not too far to get him

in hand work again, not as successfully as at the weekend....

and when i turned him out, Charlie ignored my calls and i had to go up the top of the field to check him...

my hands?  well, bloods showed nothing wrong at all, so i'm being referred to rheumatology...

I did mention to the doctor my theory about possible allergy to the giving up smoking stuff, and she didn't poo poo that thought   . so we'll see..

and my mother's been moved to a different hospital near her home, miles away from me, so can't see her as often (which at least means i'm not rushing round like a headless chicken any more, has to be a good thing...)

  1. Quite a bit going on there. Wish we knew what was wrong with your hands, but and allergy may still be the answer.

    Cute of Monfi to be upset when you chose Charlie over him. Sounds as if there's been some real bonding going on there.
