I hope people don't mind me sharing these pictures and gushing just a little bit 
This was Dennis's first dressage competition a couple of weeks ago. He came third with the respectable score of 65.22%, the first and second where 'proper' dressage horses!
And although this picture isn't technically correct I just love his expression as he's concentrating so hard!
By the way please excuse the ermmmm porkiness! His waistline expanded somewhat when I moved him onto the winter grazing  |

I took Dennis for a lesson with Robert Pickles which are arranged through the local Riding Club and they have asked if we'd like to join the dressage team!!! Bit early for that!!! I am very chuffed that we were asked though 
LOL Jane - you know my proud mummy moments LOL!
Lovely to hear from you Nicky and thank you for you lovely comments. Actually I thank everyone for their lovely comments, as I've said before its been a journey....
And just for info Andy Durham phoned me a couple of days ago, he's one of the senior vets at Liphook (he appeared on Animal Madness this week with the sleepy horse). He's writing a paper to be presented at a conference and he wants to use Dennis as a case study. Dennis has already been used as a case study by David Lloyd for his cyst and IRAP, as well as a case study presented at a BVA conference by his physio Jenny Hadland. I wonder if any other horse has been so widely used for different case studies!! |

Hi Vera,
I don't get on AL much nowadays but very glad I did tonight! What great photos - Dennis looks absolutely amazing, and I am so happy for you both after all you have been through together. He is a lovely horse, and a very lucky boy to have a wonderful owner like you. Renee xx |

Vera, it is ages since I have been on the lines, so busy working, but just saw your post. Can't believe how good Dennis looks, and doing so well at dressage too. After what he has been through, wasnt sure whether he would make a complete recovery or not. He is a credit to you!!! Proud mum eh?

Very smart plait Vera and a very smart Dennis. What a clever boy he is getting third first time out and good scores. I am sure you dont care if you never ride him again when he looks that good. I could watch him all day. |

Thank you all for your lovely comments, they mean a lot to me 
Becky - its easy when they're clipped right out!
Pat - sadly no I have severely lacked motivation to lose the last two stone before riding him. I don't really mind just having him in my life is enough 
Nadia - the judge commented that it was nice that I had plaited him
