Phoenix’s rehab is going well. We’ve re-introduced walking under saddle. He is up to 20 mins of riding, continuing some hand walking up to 30 without rider. Increasing both by 5 mins gradually over each the week until we reach 45–60 mins then continue with that duration until June when we can trot and see if he is sound. He is generally well behaved but has moments of excitement some days when hand walking. But overall he has been very good under saddle with minimal refusal to walk forward. Trailer loading practice is still being introduced but we are not forcing the issue of getting in, since we don’t want him to injure himself by acting up.
