Yay! Good news! Jo’s just been to the yard and is really happy with Zano’s progress – she said that he seems much more together, more confident and definite with his movements. Just the news I was hoping for! Jo was really impressed with his pole work – he’s such a clever boy. When she first showed us how to do it he was tripping over them left, right and centre – he even stood on them a few times and rolled off them again! But today he strode over them like an old hand who really understood what was being asked of him. He was a star, and I was so proud of him and pleased for us both!

Next step – getting back on board! Well, I’ve got the saddle, now it’s just a question of building up the riding work really slowly. Jo said that he’s ready to start as if he was a 4 year old, with the basics in place. So, it’ll be a question of riding him for about 10 minutes every other day for the first week, going over the poles the alternate day. I’m even going to ride him over the poles, too, because he’s really confident doing them. Then I can start to build it up to about 30 minutes every other day, with walking in hand too, in about 3-4 weeks time.
I’m so excited!!! We’ve got the summer ahead of us – the adventure starts here! Not only that, books 3 & 4 –
Puzzle: The Runaway Pony and
Phantom: One Last Chance hit the shops in August – yippee!
