Training update on Borris

For anyone wondering why Janice and Borris have not been out competing British Dressage. Over the winter Borris developed a problem in his front feet. Borris does not have very good front foot conformation and the more advanced dressage work seems to have taken its toll. Working with her farrier, who has been surgically shoeing him because he believes that Borris has torn the Lamini in his frogs. As things have progressed his near fore seems to have repaired, but the off fore is still not quite right!

 However, with the help of some natural remedies also he is sound and able to begin some light work. Janice will be carefully bringing him back into work to see what he is now capable of. At the moments there are no thoughts on competing her favourite boy!
