Mine are feeling extremely well in themselves. Took Gem out for a ride (yes, she's recovering from bilateral severe hock spavin...!) where she proceeded to jog, pull me around, bugger off in canter, canter piaffe and airs above the ground... Feeling well I say. Came back absolutely lathered after only 3 miles or so!
On the walk back down our drive I see mum has locked D in the small paddock to get some P&Q while poo picking up the field ... D was going mental, cantering round leaping and bucking. Mum then opened up the gate into the field where D proceeded to take flight, quite literally. She was galloping round, more bucking and leaping but bigger as she had more space. I said 'thanks mum, I'm riding her next!' Got on her and as there's a jump in the menage, she proceeded to tell me in 1000 ways why jumping is just the best and how we really shouldn't just work around it. So I may have done a bit of jumping with her, and gone up to about 50cm. At the end she was still being loopy but decided it was probably time to call it quits!
