second blog-where does the time go?!
Well, its been a while. In a nutshell, work and weather conspired against me being consistant with V’s work and although we had some good moments I came off again in late March (in the school). I wasnt hurt but was at a loss as to what was happening-well, he was spooking and whipping round but I wasnt sure what was behind it. He didnt seem his usual happy self either ridden or on the ground. It didnt seem to be pain related as checked teeth etc so out it down to management. Although he had turnout daily, there wasnt alot of room, grass or any company. I asked that this change and he was turned out for a couple of weeks holiday with a friend before I brought him back into work.
Since then he’s been pretty good. Back to being friendly, happy Vico-happy to see me, be caught and worked. We have moved yards to one with more grass and the prospect of being turned out all summer. He is going quite nicely in the school and loves his hacking (we have more people to ride with now but we are also back hacking alone 
). The only downside is that he is too playful with others in the field-it generally ends up with him being kicked. He is so fine boned compared to everything around that he is back to being on his own (although with horses within touching distance on 3 sides). I am on the look out for a lightweight companion for him but dont tell the other half
