Sue thought that it was possible he’d been broken in side reins and possibly left in them for long periods, […]

23.11.2021 Hilary, Max and ?!

By Sue Palmer on November 23, 2021

A Guest Blog by Hilary Moses Max and ?! October Last month I made the decision to buy a new horse. Very exciting and not something I thought I’d be doing at my age. The thinking was that Max maybe needed to just rest and see if things improved. However, I’d also agreed with my […]

23.10.2021 Hilary and Max: September

By Sue Palmer on October 23, 2021

Guest Blog from Hilary Moses Having ended August so dismally it was time to have a think. I felt as if I’d had a proper reality check and it began to sink in that maybe Max was one of the 20% who doesn’t recover fully from the operations which he’s had. So what to do? […]

Hilary and Max: February

By Sue Palmer on April 13, 2021

A Guest Blog from Hilary Moses This month allowed Max and I to get back into the school and to hopefully start some real work. The hacking time was building up and we were doing longer distances with all the trotting. My vet had told me to avoid hills and muddy paths and that’s quite […]

Hilary and Max: January

By Sue Palmer on March 13, 2021

A Guest Blog by Hilary Moses This was the month that Max and I had been looking forward to massively. At last his rehab allowed us to trot. We were up to 45 minutes of walking every other day and you really can’t get very far in 45 minutes at walk. The routes were all […]
