it was actually warm enough to take the rug off! i'd left it on when i turned out, but time i got back from mothers and collecting haylage, off it came it was so warm.
the hoof boots - easyboot gloves - arrived, impressed by the delivery time! however, the fit kit used by trimmer to decide what sizes to get? don't know what went wrong, but the 1.5 that was meant for his larger dark hind wasn't going anywhere near it and ended up on teh smaller, white, hind, the size 1 meant for the smaller hoof will have to go back and be replaced by a size 2 for the larger hind.

however, the sun was out, the saddle came out, i got on - he stood well for that! - and into the arena at least...then he decided he didn't want to play... i was in there for 40 minutes and spent most of it trying to get him to move. nudge with leg, no movement, reinforce with whip on boot, hopeless, just ignored.... i don't know whether i need to adjust something about the saddle or whether he was just being a b*, but very frustrating as you can imagine!
You are going to need to figure out why he does not want to move for you. Tucker balked a lot and that's when we treated him for ulcers, so that's always a possibility. Otherwise, we have to think on this one. You certainly can't do much riding on a horse statue.
