Faradic Treatments Completed

Yesterday we completed the Faradic treatments on Lilly.  When you now touch her in the girth area she stands calmly.  She used to come flying with her teeth!  But of course, the acid test is riding.

So I saddled her up (she still put her ears back and snapped when her girth was done up) and we ventured into the paddock.  Ahem.  I meant arena.

I lunged first - sure enough the lameness was totally gone.  She was as sound as a bell, trotting on both reins.  Then I jumped on and rode.  She seemed happy enough.  What amazed me though was that she was now willing to go forward.  And she could manage to do a 20m circle.

I am over the moon.
