back to school

Lovely mild day today so I worked Moo in hand, just mobilising the shoulders and haunches, halting, backing and a little shoulder-in. Oh it felt good to be back in school! Weird but his spanish walk was bold and energetic and he offered alternate legs with no encouragement...maybe he's been mulling it over whilst I've been laid up.

I've just taken the last antibiotic, yay, and can now ponder the benefits of being grotty. The major one being that I've shed the soft bits (5.5kg) and am back to my 60 kg fighting weight. I'm still being good in the hope that I can shed another kilo or two before christmas...and then I can put it all back on over the festive season!

The best benefit though is the proof that I still love working with the boys, I missed it so much. It will make the winter slog worthwhile I hope.

There's nothing like deprivation to make you appreciate the important things. :-) I reckon the boys have missed you too. You sound much happier, I'm glad!!
