Chilled Out Days

I have to thank William and Kate for getting married and giving us all a day off work, this is my second four day weekend in as many weeks and as I have next Friday and Monday off work as well, I'm doing well.

Plans for intensive riding are still on hold until vets visit on Thursday, dribbling is minimal and Max still looks well and happy.  Neil did his feet tonight and he was a good boy.

We have been letting the big boys through to the schooling paddock in front of the yard for an hour or so to eat the grass down.  We like the grass to be short in there for schooling, plus we sometimes turn the laminitic ponies out in that paddock so it is better for them to have less grass.  There is not that much grass in the paddock and it is less than an acre in size but the horses seem to think it is a real treat.  The OH tried to persuade Jamie to be caught tonight, not much point trying to out run an ex racehorse I find bringing everything else in first usually works best.  We all enjoyed a few minutes watching Neil and Jamie hooning around, Neil didn't look particularly sound but Jamie was moving really well.
