I rode Bob this weekend

Spur of the moment, I rode Friday night. There was nobody at the barn, it was warm, he was relaxed. I had Violet (the barn manager) stay with me just in case. She walked in front of him with a bag of sugar cubes and he didn't even notice the farmers baling hay, or the 20 mile an hour wind. He wanted that sugar! I stayed on for 5 minutes before I got scared. The next day I lasted 7 minutes. He's fine, I just get nervous!

I'm going to make 10 minutes tonight if it kills me.

Go Paula!!
Yea Paula and Bob!
Congrats! that's wonderful! Is he feeling pretty solid under saddle, or still pretty gimpy?

Does the vet have you doing some sort of equine physical therapy with him????
He feels sound, except that he bulges his body to the left. But he did that pre-injury because his hocks are fusing. I can't do anything but walk. The vet comes out again Wednesday to do yet another ultrasound and hopefully she will say he can go in pasture for an hour a day. The only therapy she has me do is handwalking and riding.
Giddy up, Bob!!!!

I bet is nice to know he's getting whole again!
Congrats! :cheer: What great news!! Bet Bob is getting tired of just standing around, too. What a trooper!!

YAY for Bob! Paula, even though you're nervous it must be making you smile that he's getting better :)
Paula - as a relative newbie to the forum and a fellow horse owner - what happened to Bob? I've been reading your posts and was wondering what he is recovering from.
