He is definitely going on Saturday.
I went to the phsyio yesterday and she confirmed the pain was the joint and not inflammation. It seems sensible not to make a full time commitment to a horse I may not be able to ride much over his lifetime. I have ridden 3 times this week for just over an hour each time, with a day of rest inbetween and each time, have been in agony.
So, it's back to the bike for me with maybe a last ride on Wednesday...except he is only going up the road back to his owner's field...and she has said I could continue to ride him until he is sold.
We had a lovely ride on Tuesday, up on to Dreggie with 2 long canters. Bertie was willing, going in front and behind with no problems. It was me that ran out of breath first!
Meanwhile, I continue with my exercises and hope that in the future I will be able to ride in comfort again.
