98. Jumping!



Today i actually didn't do anything with Spice as she is still a bit lame although not half as lame as she was yesterday as it turns out that it was an abscess which was causing the lameness which has now burst so i am going to give her a week or so off before riding her again.

However, Indy (pictured above) and Alex took the opportunity to test out our new jump set and by the looks of it had lots of fun.

Indy managed to jump 2ft with Mags who is only 5 and hasn't jumped for ages so think she must be a natural and Alex jumped about a foot or so. I can't wait to have a go myself i absolutely love our new jumps but it looks like it will be at least a week or so before i can attempt to do anything like that.

With regards the abscess I am going to let nature take its course (as recommended by my barefoot trimmer) as i think all i effectively managed to do last time she had one was lengthen the healing process and perhaps even at times hinder it.
