I took a couple of pain killers before I left and I only recall really feeling any serious pain at one stage in a trot. I think it was enough to make me squeal aloud, but other than that I think it was mainly soreness and stiffness I felt that I could control.
Before we went Teddy appeared to want to go but when it came down to doing the work, well I think he was having thoughts of bucking me off and running back into the float with his nose in the feedbag and pretend we weren't there.
He did well parking so he has remembered his lessons and I was pleased to see this. His anxiety was very prominent as he head tossed a lot so I hope that he will remember it's not so bad and he will get through this quicker this time than it has taken us to get where we were in the first place. All in all I think we did ok.
It near killed me getting the float ramp shut and on the way home I had to take a few more pain killers and as the cold sets in this evening so has my stiffness. I guess it's worth the price as my goals are still front and centre in my mind. We will get there.
Now its time to relax and probably have an early night.
