Yesterday we made it to anothrr recovery milestones. I was able to ride my Trick around the turnout bareback. His skin is still to sensitive to have a cinch on and so I just rode him without. Boy it's been a long time since I rode bareback. Need to do it more. Trick seemed happy, we just walked around the turnout to start out with. He had on his padded halter to protect his still very sensitive face. He was perfext especially since we had a yearling and weanling in with us. It was nice to be back on him again if only for 15 to 20 minutes. He's definitely my heart horse. He was responding to leg cues so I wasn't in his face at all. He sticks to me like glue and is my sh a dow. He doesn't care to go back out to the pasture at all.
I'm narrowing down what tat I want for him next. He's back to my normal boy now. I was worried about nervous system damage because he was real jumpy during healing but he seems fine now. He seemed to be happy to be ridden again. It has been over a year since I've been on him. My heart was so happy. His weight is very good. He's still my sweet boy. I love him so.
