feeling slightly more upbeat

*whispers very quietly* I think the splint is going down fingers crossed it goes completely. I have already been up and cold hosed, DMSO'd and put madames ice pack on. The thanks I got for this was feed spat in my hair and down my neck whilst cold hosing and the stable door shoved into me as I went to put the DMSO away. I love that pony at times.
Snuck out to top hay up for the girls until they are turned out at 8 and both boys were laid sparko together. They are so cute at times.
Last night had the saddler out as Pait's saddle arrangement was not fitting. Yorkshire saddlery repair came out and she is brill. She fitted the saddle originally so redid templates then asked if she could use them in a lecture on how much a horse can change shape in a year lol. The back is still mostly the same but the amount her shoulders and front end have gone out is amazing. She really is a little tank.
We decided to take off pads and use a very thin numnah and the saddle will be ok for now but she did warn me that any more bulk and it's new saddle time. Seeing as Pait is currently in a wide it'll be fun if she goes up more.
The saddle does get double use as it fits rory though. Think I need to keep an eye out for an albion selecta in the next width up as I do love that saddle.
