Lad and Vicky's first outing!
Meet Vicky and Lad. Lad is a Irish sport horse. When Vicky saw Lad about four years ago, It was love at first sight. He is a lovely horse with a fantastic nature. Unfortunately for Lad he has had many health issues, resulting in countless vet visits and therapy. He was lame or unlevel, and was found to have kissing spines, and a ligament problem in his fore leg, so Lad was operated on for his kissing spines. The operation was a success, but he still wasn't right. Vicky being Vicky, never gave up on him. She then discovered he had stomach ulcers, so that was treated. All in all it's been a rollercoaster for them both. But eventually Lad got better and eventually he was sound and happy in himself. So yesterday for the very first time, they went to Cholwell to a Dressage clinic being held by Mike and Tori Aylemore. They thoroughly enjoyed their lesson together and to top it all. Mike told them, they would be ready to do their first dressage test! Vicky say's she is lucky to have found Lad, but I think Lad is lucky to have found Vicky! Well done to you both, look forward to seeing you on future outings that doesn't involve a vet visit!
