Last month I bought a horse, there was no reasonable explanation as to why I bought a horse, I wasn’t looking for one, and I didn’t have much free time etc, but for some reason and against my better judgement I bought Pip, which in all honesty was a pretty stupid thing to do 🙈
She was lame when I bought her. (I would not advise anyone to do this!) but she did have a list of excuses and I thought it was an opportunity to document a rehab journey, try new things and hopefully have some fun along the way.
I have never owned a cob in my life, so I have learned so much about the nightmare which is heavy feathers! I’ve also learned how hard rehab can be and I have a new found appreciation for all my clients who stick to their plans! I’ve also found it really frustrating as progress can seem slow, and some days it feels like you aren’t getting anywhere fast. However, the first photo is from April 2nd the day I bought her and the second photo is from today May 17th. There is definitely progress even over a 6 week period and overall she seems much brighter in herself and moving much better. Sometimes things are just meant to be and the horse you need finds you 😊 I am also thankful to Taryn Hardman who is helping us on our barefoot journey, which I will cover in another post.
Trust the process, rehab works.
