Morris has been getting used to getting in and out of the trailer in preparation for four weeks with Dave Stewart. Although he was tentative about getting in the trailer at first his curiosity and love of food soon got the better of him. We will however travel him without the partition as he is not yet ready to be in such a small space.

Morris loaded and travelled well to Dave’s venue He came out of the trailer a bit fast but for an Arab kept himself together. He was overjoyed when he was turned out into a lovely large field full of green grass with five other mates. We have to say that we were slightly perturbed but had to shrug our shoulders and hope he would be OK.

Today we visited Morris to see how his training was progressing. Dave met us with the good news that he had successfully ridden Morris five times although he was proving slower to accept everything in comparison to the other horses being trained. The bad news was that he was lame. We were totally surprised to see him shifting weight rather uncomfortably on both front feet as if suffering from a laminitic attack!
