If its any constellation
@Trewsers im rather bruised too. Not from a fall but that kicking billy gave me boxing day. Now i know why its called boxing day lol. Still cant walk. Have dosed myself on the strong pills to get through work. Rubbed loads of muscle rubs and arnica in. Saturday i also put my back out trying to feed the sheep there hay. Probably because i was over compensating for the pain in my legs.
Im so miffed that i didnt get my boxing day ride and couldnt ride saturday considering the lovely weather.
But to get me over it i got on billy and rode him out on an hours hack yesterday which was my last hack of the year. Then i came back and clipped chunky and then drove him for his last of the year. I had lost my confidence after last thursday but having clipped chunky without any issues i regained a bit of confidence. But im still really nervous around billy. I think that will take a couple of weeks of riding and no issues to get over.
A little picture to remind me in future never to try clipping a horse that hates clippers.
