It's my health, not Teddy's, that's been holding us back for the last week; that and endless commitments.
Now I'm feeling a bit better, yesterday I saddled Teddy up and just took him for a walk around to see how he'd pull up after the poking, prodding and the needles. He did fine.
Today i gave him his second shot, but it was the first time I've jabbed him with a needle and he wasn't impressed! I thought I was going to cop a bite but he backed up with the needle sticking in his neck. I waited for him to come to me before finishing the job. Two more shots to go so I hope I get better at this!
This whole experience of finding out if Teddy has a problem has cost me a small fortune! It would be ok if it wasn't for the fact that the physio, who I saw first, told me exactly the same thing as the vet and if I didn't see the vet I could have saved myself $300. The vet just said, "Good physio". But you have to see the vet to get the medication... ahh cant win.
But on a positive note -Teddy is the winner! He'll be back in stride in no time. I hope to have a lesson this week and I'll try and take him on a few trail rides around the local area just to get him a bit fitter.
