after a few days for the meds to kick in
only one minor grip of the lead rope/tie up ring and even then not nearly as tense as normal
no reaction as i put the saddle on
girthing up, he didn't even turn his head
got on first time of asking with no moving off (quite pleased with this, as he had been quite "up" whilst i was putting the bridle on)
into the arena (it was raining gently and didn't know if it was to get worse or better, probably worse)
and he did 1 1/2 times round before he stopped .... which is progress from the last few times! got him going again and some trot but then really struggled for more movement - the fact that he had company today didn't seem to help much....
hack out with a friend tomorrow, weather permitting ...
and we all stopped after not too long as it started raining quite heavily (and is currently teeming down).
OK, so some progress. Not exactly a gold star, but certainly some changes taking place. Hope you get that hack in and start to discover even more good signs.
