Well having done a few bits of groundwork with Alfie over the last few weeks, I really want to start doing something more regularly but apart from having had a VERY busy week this week with no time to do much more than give the horses their evening hay and some carrots for Alfie, the weather is COLD. Too cold to be condusive to getting some poles out and really getting down to some work. Am thinking once we are more switched on again with the groundwork, I can take him out for some walks on the common as long as I am careful.
Other good news - have the all clear on my arm as far as healing goes - YIPPEE! Only took 7 months! Have to be careful not to fall on it for the next 5 months so no riding, skydiving or bungee jumping or skiing.......!!! At first I thought this was ages to wait, but I have already had 7 months without riding, so 5 is nothing. It doesn't change much what I can and can't do at the moment, but at least the breaks have healed over which is a relief.
Am happy to do some groundwork with Alfie now, just got to be extra careful around him and not to get tangled up in any lunge lines!
Roll on milder spring weather....
