Chorrie and the physio

So today for the nth time in the ongoing check ligament saga Chorrie had the physio.

Today was a turning point, today he wasn't stiff all over, today he had no major areas that were considered an issue.

So from the scans we had on Monday and today's physio visit we may have turned a corner. Just need him to stay a good boy out in his pen for a couple more months so the left check gets stronger. Can now work the walking back up to 20 minutes horse walker alternate reins and when on 20 mins then 10 mins one way 10 the other.

Can also reintroduce pole work. I need weather to dry up (am aware this doesn't help the drought) so can leave him out longer than 5 hours.

Currently struggling to balance Fred's intake of grass with keeping Chorrie's pen a reasonable surface for Chorrie. Fred is also in a much larger pen and once Fred eats off grass Chorrie follows on behind. So might be back on middle May.

Slightly disappointed we never managed to get back on within the year but progress is progress.

Physio seems to think with no more issues Chorrie will get back to where he was
