We did the trot test today. And between all 4 of us (me the two barn owners and Lucas) we think hes on the final leg of his recovery. Hes been playing a bunch in the indoor, the swelling is gone in his leg and its only because we know what he is capeable of that we think he is still not quite fully done.
Hes having a ball in the indoor now, and canters on his own for fun. That first step is still whe worst (and only at a trot) but he gets better the longer he trots. So when we get the snow that we are promised to get tomorrow we will start turning him out for a couple of hours outside. The snow will give him some cusion, and be high enough to keep coldness on that fetlock for a couple of hours.
Im extreamly happy that hes' feeling better already, and that hes so broke that having the past couple of months off wont hurt him a bit.
