Pait would like to return me for a fully crippled model!

I have started project topline and fitness and declared vacation over. She's had 2 days of being lunged with the pessoa on as I'm a mean mummy who doesnt think the majority of her muscle should be on the underside of her neck!
Yesterday we had a couple of strops and a bit of can't, sharn't, won't until Mr stick made an appearance. Today she knuckled straight down to work and we even had 3 continous laps of canter on each rein followed by DALES TROT TO THE MAX. As she had decided it was easier to behave give me effort then I'd call it a day.
Finished off todays work with a few treats and a strapping session in the stable.

Rory meanwhile was stood snickering over the fence with Duke as he is still living the life of Riley. This may change tomorrow when I ask my physio if I can start riding again!
All Dales got fly sprayed and all tried to tell me they had never seen a squirty bottle before (The amount of pig oil I get through I didnt believe them)
Rory also had his frogs disinfected as they smelt a bit the other day and combine that with eye drops for his runny eye he was feeling a tad picked on by the time I finished.

No P pics as hands full with lunge line but have 2 daft geldings having fun the other day.

Pait is not happy! I've finally lost my crutches (still not allowed to ride yet) so I thought it was time to start lunging again. Shes been ridden by M once a week/ fortnight when she has time so is rather unfit. Me asking her to lunge properly and use her @rse did not please her but she went well and even had a few trots over a pole to engage the stifles/ hocks.
Rory is still on vacation as I decided against trying to lead him through the foals on my own so he and Duke got a bit of time out on the extra front part of the paddock which has nice grass. They arent left on it as it ajoins the school and Rory will try to kill other horses encroaching on his field so I thought it best not to kill the other liveries whilst they ride so the boys only go on it when I can watch them.
Duke did come over and say hi to Pait (who amazingly said hi back and did scowl or try to maim him!)
Measured Pait and shes just over 14.2hh unshod. Weightaping at 425. lol.

Been a little while since my last update but not really much to blog as I've had my knee operated on so ponies are living a tad feral.
My sister M has been schooling Pait once a week so she is at least still in work and going very well for M. Rory has had his shoes off but the amount of playing him and Duke do should keep his joints mobile!
Both Rory and Pait have learnt the important art of being led from crutches and in typical Dales style just taken it all in their stride.
