So Dino has a sore lower spine & sacroiliac joint 🙁 David’s first words when I walked him out for him was ‘blimey, he’s a bit wonky isn’t he?’. Not really what you want to hear…!

We’re to do some very specific work in walk and trot with him; right rein circles and serpentines until Monday and then get in touch with David to see where to do depending on how he is, but likely no cantering, poles, jumping or lateral work for a while whilst we try and straighten him out. Poor baby. Wasn’t very keen on the loosening work on his spine today. When David was pulling his tail to loosen off the spine he was kept turning his head round and nuzzling him like ‘oi! stop that!’ and then stood staring at me with pleading eyes to make it stop. He was moving better when it was done though, hopefully gentle work over the weekend will start him back on the right path!

Poor chap.
