after doing Molly - 2 hours, including a nice walk out in hand, with company (jill came out on Oscar for the walk out!) and having breakfast, went down to Yorkshire to see the Friesian Stallion grading & show - only because Vicki was coming up with Antsje for the ridden mare class.
the grading was interesting to watch - and there was one lovely mare with foal at foot, foal kept trying to knock the runner over! (this is done the Dutch way, the horses are run round by runners, in this case people over from Holland for the purpose, and the judges are Dutch as well)
then came home and did Molly again.
the legs are subsiding, slowly, but tonight she wasn't as keen to go out as she was this morning/yesterday. her near hind is much better, and the off hind is now recovering it's shape
the bad news? another horse on the yard was discovered to have an infected puncture wound - it had been hidden by a flap of skin, which came off today. vet's coming tomorrow.

Glad Molly is improving.
I didn't realise that Friesians had that "drop-away" bum that Shires have.

I hadn't registered that... they are glorious, though, and not nearly as tall as you'd think from photos!
Fresians are getting very popular here. They are not my favorites, but people certainly love them.
