It was a relief this morning to find that all the horses were okay and that Theoden and Petra are happily playing Mr and Mrs. "No, no, after you...." they seem to say at feedtime.
Davy and I did an action replay of yesterday with him showing a significant improvement. Not only did he wade around the pond with no hesitation but he also walked through mud in a careful and considered way. There were a couple of shoulder moments but he is backing up much more lightly and taking his shoulder away when I ask him to. It is a bit like being followed by a double-decker bus sometimes!
