Physio out to Robin today. She stood back and said “what have you been doing to this horse?” “erm not much. Why?” And I prepare to cry. “He is ammmaaaazzzzing”. Long story short, she didn’t find a single issue. His posture is now great (essentially he has been tilting his pelvis to save his hocks causing the other issues) and so the couple of slight issue areas have no issues now. She said she never thought he would get back to how he is. She was confident he would be ridden again but with issues but never expected him to be in the shape he is now. He has lost weight too which is great and thinks he is pretty well spot on.
It is such a relief that I stuck to my guns and did it my way ie very slow and steady with hacking and more hacking. I have to keep going as is and she will come back in 3 months. She feels he is much more “work” in him but to keep hacking and hacking and to enjoy him.
Made the slog and not giving up worthwhile.
