Last weekend we took Scooter our 19yr old PB out to do a couple of prelim tests, first time out this year and he loved himself, and proudly strutted his stuff, achieving 64%in his first test and 64.3% in his second test, not bad for an old man that last year the vet was saying we may have to PTS, he was so poorly after injuring his sacroilliac and his hamstring, we took 9mths geting him better and then gradualy took him back into work again and touch would he has coped with what we have asked of him so far, but he wont ever be asked to jump again, which is a shame as he loved his jumping. Some picies from the dressage of my superstar.
oh and he won both the tests with those scores.

| thanks girls, FC he is very dificult to keep weight on as had Lammi before we bought him, touch wood, we have managed to keep him free of it for coming up 3yrs, but its a struggle to get the happy medium without tiping him over the edge. Oh and he and Jemma have just started doing dressage and have won all their tests so far (6 out of 6) and will be moving up and giving novice a bash next. |
