Nice to see Snowy and Rooster having a little play 🐎πŸ₯°. They used to play a lot when they were younger but I haven’t really seen Snowy play for a while.

Maybe it was because he was having pain from his teeth issues with his EOTRH over the last few years, which we have hopefully resolved now that all his incisors have been removed.

Or perhaps it is the CBD he is on that is helping him feel more comfortable too, he certainly looks to be moving better since being on that. Either way it’s nice to see him back to his old playful self, makes me very happy πŸ₯°.

Same with Roo too, he has been much better with his stiffness since being on the CBD. He plays a lot with Bruce, although I’m not sure he has much choice about that with little terror Brucey πŸ˜‚

Aww, lovely to see this memory of little Snow Po from 9 years ago, good times 🐎😍. Shame I didn’t have my Pivo in those days to get better videos of him, little star he is 🌟🐴🌟. He’s enjoying a quieter life now 😌.

Emma and Tallulah doing great in their lesson the other week. Tallulah has changed so much since they have been coming for lessons. She was very tight and crooked through her body, and also very spooky πŸ‘». She can still be a bit suspicious and spooky with things around the arena (she is a Welshie after all πŸ˜‚). However, that has improved a lot as she has gradually got straighter and softer through her body. Emma was chuffed to bits with Tallulah (as you can see from the last photo πŸ₯°). Rightly so too, Emma has been very patient and just kept chipping away, it doesn’t just happen overnight but when it happens and it all comes together it is such a lovely feeling when you get that softness and lightness πŸ΄πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜

I’m glad you find it funny little Snow Hippo! πŸ¦›πŸ™ˆ

Aww little Brucey when I was just finally backing him a year ago πŸ₯°. Sharing it again as it’s a good explanation about the 3 sets of 3 improved repetitions that we use in Equitation Science to help the horses learn πŸ₯°

Pony Zoomies. Then a bit of calm before a final race at the end 🐎🐎🐎🐎. Bless little Roo at the back, he’s not built for speed πŸ˜‚

Lovely, peaceful hack in the sunshine for me and little Brucey 🐴😎. Just what the doctor ordered after the big clean up from the snow melting β˜ƒοΈπŸ’©. Then the arena levelled and poles set out, ready for some polework tomorrow to help him with his rehab.

At last, the snow and ice has gone πŸ™ŒπŸ˜„. Don’t know who was more pleased, me or the ponies, that they could finally go back out down the track to the field πŸŽπŸ’¨.

No words for Snow Po, I think I counted about 9 times he got down to roll in the space of 5 minutes πŸ™ˆ

Ponies queuing up at the top of the track, trying to tell me that they think it’s time they were let back out down the track to the field now please πŸ™. Sorry guys, it’s still too icy down there so you’ll have to stay at the top for a bit longer I’m afraid.

Harriet’s been getting her massage pad on too as her owner hasn’t been able to get up to see her this week due to the ice πŸ₯Ά.

Nice to see them having a good drink too, always a relief when you see them drinking in this weather πŸ˜…πŸ‘

At least we had a bit of sunshine today 🌞😎, made ice skating while mucking out a bit more bearable πŸ₯Ά. A chance to get the pony’s rugs off for a few hours so they could all have a snooze in the sun 🐴😴.

No rug off for little Brucey though as got to keep his little muscles nice and warm due to his MIM (Muscle Integrity Myopathy). I’ve made that mistake before, thinking it would be nice for him to have his rug off too but no, it doesn’t do him any favours at all. He likes to be nice and toasty 🐴πŸ₯°

Snow ponies today πŸ΄β›„οΈ. Poor Rooster suffering the wrath of Bruce after I let him
back in with them for the day πŸ™ˆ.

I have to put Bruce back in his own shelter when the weather is bad because if it’s icy I don’t want him chasing them around. They are usually pretty sensible but when he’s around they don’t always have a choice πŸ™„. Also if it’s really wet and foul weather he has to go back on his own because poor Snow Po won’t go in the shelter when Bruce is around and ends up stood outside getting wet through and having to lie down outside, which just won’t do for my little golden oldie 🐴🌟πŸ₯°, as I know how much he loves his shelter.

Back to it for little Brucey, after a week off over the Christmas period. A cold and icy hack πŸ₯Ά but we were both well wrapped up and he actually seemed to be quite enjoying himself, tootling along nicely 🐴😍
