I tried to bring Solo back for so long, but it was only when I gave up and turned him out and let him be all winter that he actually got a lot closer to good. If I spent the money and redid his hocks and got him fit and all the other stuff now, I know he could go back to work, albeit not at Training level. <br /><br />It's hard to wait for our best friends when they can't speak out loud. But there is many a horse out there, horses that I know, who have languished in a field for a year, taking naps, and come back in feeling refreshed. Hang in there!eventer79https://www.blogger.com/profile/03160817772061132147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-44620247367229351062013-07-02T19:22:51.434-06:002013-07-02T19:22:51.434-06:00Hugs for both of you!Hugs for both of you!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066327510880156537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-989415128859101412013-07-02T18:39:27.895-06:002013-07-02T18:39:27.895-06:00I hope that Cuna comes back fully revitalized from...I hope that Cuna comes back fully revitalized from his vacation and that he enjoys his turnout.

I recently put my older sport horse out to pasture and in the last month have only gotten on her once or twice. However, its amazing how different she feels after not being confined to a stall. Much more relaxed, comfortable, and loose. So here's hoping that the same thing happens to Cuna!
