Weise-kins!

Weiser is still steadily recovering! He is back in full work and enjoying his new home in NC. Fingers crossed for continued soundness and training progress!

Back to work!

Weiser is steadily on the road to recovery! We have been cleared from only trotting straight lines, and will be able to begin some light cantering in 2 weeks! Fingers crossed all goes smoothly and we will be back on track in a few months.

Above: some awesome shots of Weiser taken the first day trotting off straight lines. Compliments of the talented Martha A. Meyers (official blog photographer)

Back on track

Weiser has passed another vet check and we have begun trotting long lines 5-10 minutes a ride a few days a week in addition to our 30-40 minutes of walk! In many ways he actually feels better now than he did before he got hurt! I am also extremely pleased with how he looks right now--his weight is perfect. He could use a little attitude adjustment as submission is still a difficult concept for him, but overall I am very pleased.

A photo of the handsome Weiser back under tack will be coming soon! For now, enjoy this adorable shot of Weiser with his favorite little girl.

Good News!

Weiser had an excellent vet check and he is healing! The tear in his right front is completely healed, and the inflammation in the left front is significantly improved! We are now on a three week regimen of hand-walking for 20 minutes a day, with hopes he can start back on the treadmill in three weeks time. I will keep you posted on his progress, and for now leave you with this doleful photo of Weiser where he is currently staying in recovery!
