We're closing in on 5 weeks of stall rest for our restless boy. Rachel took him for a walk in the indoor arena last evening and then for some grazing outside. He was remarkably well behaved with only a couple of "freak outs". Rachel is a pro at reading his body language and telling him (or asking him) to behave before it escalates.
He was so happy to be outside and checking out all the other horses that were being worked in lessons and grazing in their paddocks. By the time Monday rolls around she'll be able to walk him mounted, which will be a relief for all involved.
We live approximately 40 minutes from the barn so we're lucky to have a great network of friends and Westar staff who have treated his knee when we haven't been able to get out there. Many thanks to one and all!
