7 March
It is almost exactly one month since Tamtam and Eric arrived at Le Frelut. This morning Yves, the vet, arrived again and took blood and dung samples.
In the afternoon we went to Josephines to work Argenta. Willy gave us a masterclass on stretching the horse. First of all stretching before mounting. We always stretch the forelegs forwards and then slight out but tis time he also took the foreleg backwards and placed it just in front of the hind legs. He then stretched the hind legs backwards. I will try to get some photos to demonstrate what I mean. Willy emphasised that you have to be very careful with the stretchs of the hind legs...not all horses will appreciate it!! Willy then rode her in the manege. He worked her very loose.....encouraging her to stretch her neck forwards and down in all 3 paces. It was very nice to watch....
Tomorrow the young horses will be going to their new home in Germany.
The day finished well with a phone call from Yves to say that TT's results are all normal. He has no worms and his blood results are good....That shows what one month at Willy's can do for a horse! But you can see the results on the outside too. His coat shines and he has life in his eyes. There is hope for Tamtam.
