We're Back!

Whisper started back to work today. Granted it was just walking and slow trotting on a lunge line and some desensitizing exercises but I think he’s happy to get back to it. Toward the end of his convalescence (which went very well) he was beginning to get more and more flightly and fidgety. Even though he was handled every day - mainly to give him drugs and hose down his belly but it counts. This may sound ridiculous but I think he needs something more to think about than when the hay will come. Maybe he is just exceptionally imaginative for a horse. We have accomplished a couple of things in the past 2 weeks. Whisper will now go into the wash rack without too much trouble. It’s not his favorite place to be but he knows water won’t hurt him.

He has a clean, silky, flowing
tail – the dreadlocks are gone – and isn’t that a nice looking butt.





We’ll do some more groundwork tomorrow to get him back into the swing of things and Monday I’ll contact his trainer. He should be fit to ride in a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed….
