Jessie, part 3


No snow in christmas! Pete and Jessie leaving the riding school, after Emma's riding lesson (with a new, treeless saddle).


Jessie with her new friend, arab mare "Miina".


Despite of the new saddle, Jessie was very reclutant to move anywhere when riding, so in February we headed to equine hospital. Here showing trot to vet, before the x-rays (which revealed osteoarthritis).

Heading home after some joint-injections


After injection the horse isn't allowed to move for 24 hours. Boring, thinks Jessie (already used to live in an open stable, coming and going like she wants).

Now Jessie is allowed to walk, in march we can start trotting. Interesting to see how things turn out!
