First walk on the roads

Today i took him for his first potter on the roads. Geared up with my hat and lunge line i set out.
Considering we had to walk past Sherry in her field, trotting around, then met the bin lorry (interesting) and then met other horsey friends on the way back....He was bloody perfect. Unless he was just in shock and had no idea what was happening. will only find out tomorrow!

13th - 14th February. Sticky back

He has been really chatty and quite happy. Really enjoying a good scratch and a groom to get rid of all his hair. He's moulting like mad! but its all sticking to the excess glue from where his dressing was stuck. Going to give it a really good bathe tomorrow morning to see if i can get rid of some of it, but i don't want to irritate his skin around that area too much as it still looks a little tender.

Just some recent photos i've taken over the past couple of days :)

12th February 2nd lot of stitches out!

Wooo! last lot of stitches out today! David arrived at 12 on the dot and removed them within seconds. Mentioned that Adam is his star patient :)
A couple of them were quite deep which was uncomfortable for him but he grinned and bared it.
Walked him in the indoor school today for 10 mins. Tripped over his own front feet but managed to survive!
His front legs were a little swollen so i banaged front and backs today.
Only thing i've noticed recently is that he's getting a little box proud and is scowling at people he doesnt know too well. He is totally fine with me which pleases me but seems to really hate men!?

10th - 11th February. Running the grand national. not.

Been walking Adam in my lunch breaks mainly for 5 mins at the moment. Don't want to over do it and he acts as though he has just ran the grand national. It completely kills him! But as usual he has been faultless and hasn't let me down yet. Im still bandaging him through the day and it really does keep his legs from filling.

He hates being woken up in the mornings and makes him grumpy (i would be!)
He seems to enjoy having company during my lunch breaks and prefers to eat my lunch rather than his hay which usually consists of crisps and a wrap.

As usual he was pretty grumpy in the evening so i mucked him out and hayed him, and left him to it.

9th February. First walk in the school

Today i walked him in the indoor school for the first time.
He did quite alot of tail swishing and head shaking but i think he is still trying to get used to the feeling of the tightness of the skin etc.
Lisa came up with me and gave me a hand etc. Gave us lots of cuddles after his walk and was in the cutest mood! So happy to see him like a normal horse now, not the grumpy scary thing i started to see earlier in the year.

Made him look very silly by putting gloves on his ears and putting a scarf around his ears to make him look indian. Hes so tolerant!

Also quite good at impersonating E.T ...
