Update on Jake and Badminton

Had his first hack today with my Mum's friend Anneli, whilst I took Project Glimpse along as company, there is still some heat in his leg but he is not lame although he also has a little bit of stiffness in the opposite shoulder. Chris Wellings came out and gave him a treatment whilst he was taking it easy this week. So today we took it gently walking and trotting once around a 15 acre field, then we got back I hosed his leg and put him in his field and he promptly jumped out clearing the fence by a country mile, so not much wrong with him!. Will do another gentle hack tomorrow incorporating some canter work. We are hosing his foot 3 times a day. Today we brought a full magnetic rug and some ice boots from Premier Equine, its proving to be very expensive just to get this horse to Badminton.
