Good News!
James said he'd be willing to do some riding on Muddy again. He only wants to walk which is perfectly fine. This will be great. I love riding with James. He hasn't had the opportunity to ride in the indoor arena yet. I think he'll enjoy it.

Rode Muddy!
It's been a total of over two months since Muddy has been ridden. I chose to lunge him at the walk for just a bit before getting on him as he seemed a bit grumpy when we were tacking him up. However, he was just fine for the lungeing as well as when I rode him. It came to about 20 minutes total of "work". He seems completely sound.

12/05/08 Brief Update
I have not ridden Muddy since his stifle injections. November has turned out to be quite a busy month for me. Each time I thought I'd be able to go out there and ride, something happened. He's gotten himself a full month of recovery from the hock injection. Normally, most people start their horses back to work several days after the injections. I'm a bit of a worry wort so I didn't mind taking my time. He does seem comfortable on his hocks. He has no trouble lifting them when I pick out his feet. Right now it's pretty muddy out at the barn so Muddy is looking quite like his name. Provided that I start feeling better (I have a cold), I plan to get up on Muddy this weekend.
