went for two walks today, as we have beeb supposed to but haven't been able to since sunday what with all these trips to vet with other horse..
the back legs continue to subside, the near hind better than the off. definite definition, which is good.
rang the vet, though, as the last antibiotic is in the morning and given the off hind is still up a bit, was a bit concerned, also not sure about future management...
he thought it would be fine, see how it goes once antibiotics finished, and i could turn out - but I'm not going to turn out yet, still not totally sure the mud fever is totally gone, and the fields are hock deep in mud, apparently....
so she's better off in, possibly turned out in the arena whilst i muck out/bed up etc, and possibly back into light work - some lunging at the walk, like that...
the first walk out this morning was a new route, turn left, roudn the corner, over the railway bridge (defunct railway) from which you can see our yard/fields, into estate, then back... bridge a shade hairy, stayed on pavement (it's quite narrow, the road there...) and hi viz'd to the 9's..
the second walk this evening, turn right and walk to the pub - we were UNDERTAKEN by a man on a pushbike... plonker! i should say, i was on the nearside of the road, and then inside me/molly was an area a bit like a layby....i.e., for parking!

What is this - undertake on a bike week? - you and me both suffer these plonkers this week!

Glad to hear you can get Molly out. What you need is some dry turnout for her. The exercise is good for that leg.
Wish it would dry up for a spell over there.
no such thing as dry turnout here, jean - and I don't think YO will let me turn out in the arena for the day, someone else tried the other week and she wasn't best pleased...and anyway, that's quite soggy!
