EMRT

Dan - tight near hind and off fore. But over all, very good, loads better. Doesn't need another until he has another mishap!

Aero - really really pleased, does move a little tight behind which she feels is justifiable at 18, but so much better than ever and nothing much to report.

Magic - baaaad :-( tight all down his left side. Left shoulder, left hip, behind saddle. I did say, it can't be riding as he hasn't done any! Would explain why I have been watching him in the field and thinking something NQR (not quite right).

Merlot - good, loads better than last time she saw him (over a year ago), has changed and got a top line!

Remus - has an abscess, but being a clever boalie has managed to get it to become a lump on his coronet that I am now poulticing. He is pretty sound again even though it hasn't popped yet. He "helped" with treatments by licking the stool, the clip board, Sue, me, then got bored and started to try to pull his rug off the fence where I had left it to desensitise him!

It worked because tonight after putting his poultice on we did 5 mins towards rugging and got to being able to put rug on him (not opened out). Previous sessions have involved bigger and bigger towels, and me making more and more big movements throwing him at him and rubbing him all over. Bovvered? Me? Clever pony.

Magic - leading. Oh, he is being such clever boy. We can now walk wherever, me with inside hand on his shoulder, and my other hand in front to get us started. I've never felt so connected to him, and so in tune with each other. And he is being a saint whilst I am NQR myself.
