First time in nearly a year. He was brilliant, he is feeling so much more sturdy on his feet, beginning to feel like he has a leg in each corner. We had a trot on the top, where the grass gave the ground a good covering, and Red popped into canter. We have only just began to trot over this last week so not up to cantering yet but as he offered it we had a little one.
Coming down hills has never been Red's strong point, he tends to let gravity take over and just throws his legs out in the hope they will catch him, it is very disconcerting! Not today though. The top part of the path was REALLY steep but Red slowed down, sat back and balanced himself all the way down. Poor horse probably had such sore feet before that he couldn't use them properly, now he felt much more confident at putting the weight onto his heels.
I'm feeling really positive :-)
