Bed rest

TW came up early because she was worried. So I did some trotting for her and got an apple reward. So then I did some flat out galloping for her. It felt awesome. She looked confused.

Later in she came back and took me in, did my tootsies and let me graze in the school. A vet arrived with a student. Hmmmm. TW told him about my poorly bits. The big vet man poked and prodded me and said I didn't seem sore. Then TW had to trot me up and down. They said I was sound. TW was more confused.

Next, we went into the paddock and lunged. Vet said walk first, I couldn't be arsed so just trotted. The vet said I lunged nicely. I trotted on both reins. The vet said very occasionally I did a tiny lame looking step on both reins but he thought it was because of the lumpy ground and TWs lunging. She was pooped.

Then it was Flexion tests. Yuck. TW was scared. The student tried to do the flexing but he was crap. TW was worried I was sore but the vet knew I was being cheeky. So he did the last one, I stood like a statue. TW sniggered. The student went red. They said I was sound and the vet gave me an apple. He wondered if I was a highland cross as he says my head is like a highland. That's good, TW loves highland ponies. He says my body is like a connie. Lol.

The big vet says I should have a week in bed with some pain killers just in case something has been tweaked. He said I have a good back but can work on my schooling now I'm getting older. He says better muscles will help. TW said boring. Naughty TW!

I went back in the school and TW went food shopping. She made my bed and put me grub and treats. Then I got tucked up and off she went. All alone. Hmmm. Hope my buds are ok.
