My new foster horse Raffi

I started playing with Raffi today. He's a Right Brained Extrovert, 16hh gelding. He's looking a little shocking at the moment but will keep you posted on his looks too!!

So I started playing with him. He's the complete opposite of Dani, and it was quite a challenge today to remember what I'd learnt about RBE. He's huge too and towers over me- I used my 22 foot line (no way I'm letting him near me!!) and my carott stick and had to pretend I was 10 feet tall!!

I started playing the 7 games with him. I only played with him for about 15 mins, but in that 15 mins he did so much licking and chewing!!

He's quite sceptical and a forwad a holic. This will be an interesting learning journey for me!!

Our First Clicker Lesson

The Vet

So we had the vet come out twice for Danis back. Once in May and once in August. We couldn't work out why her back would be sore after not being ridden. She had become really funny about her back leg straps being undone and done up, so after some feeling around the area we found a decent sized lump on her stomach about where her leg straps might touch. We were pretty worried it was going to be somethig serious.
So the vet came out again and gave us the good news that it is a fiberous lump and probably occured when she was playing or rolling. Something had hit her stomach and it had gotten a lupm, kind of like when you kit your head. It would have been very painful when it was first done, so not supprisingly she's been very protective.
It's not sore any more, and her back's all good in the mean time (we believe she may have been carrying her self a bit wrong after it happened so her back kept going out.)
Woo-hoo!! We're back on track now :)
