After two months off due to injuries my girl has finally become able to work again! True, she's lost all of her muscle tone from so much idle time, but she's moving great. I saddled her up today and rode her on the gravel roads near my house. I didn't want to overdo it on the first day so I only rode for about 15 minutes and only at walk. But she handled the hills just great and seemed to feel fine at the end of it. I'm going to gradually build her up until she's moving faster and for longer periods of time.
I'm so happy!! For a while there we were really scared she might have to be permanantly retired.
