Not much happening, Toms feet arn't the best at th moment, but we did expect some deterioation over winter. Tom has White Line Disease in his front feet. It is curable and he should be right within a few months, although Farrier has said no jumping.



Tom has settled into his new grazing very well and I love him being on his own as I get to manage his paddock, pick up poo etc. So I am getting out of the grazing what I put in, so if I manage it properly, then he will always have nice clean paddocks that are regularly rested. At the moment the paddock is split into two, but I am planning to have four smaller paddocks. One does have the temporary arena in it but thats should be a problem as I leave that available for grazing to keep the grass down.



Speaking of arena's, I tried it out on Wednesday and had the most fantastic schooling session on Tom, probably th best yet. I was expecting a useless fizzy TB, but instead he really tried to do as I wanted. I really had my first ever slow trot on him, one where I had to keep pushing him to keep going. I even got a comment from another grazer that he looked like he was going very nicely.

Nothing much planned in the way of shows, I was going to take him to a dressage day, but float is on hire that day so might go along to the Western Hills Spring Show and do some flat classes
