Hairy Holidays

13 December 2016

A very quiet month for Zipper and I. He's been getting hairy and 'curvy' - I assume he is, I can't really see his shape under the mud. He's reverted to his younger bog monster days and he's blissfully content in his filth. He's been enjoying a bit of a break after an intense year, but he's now being brought back in to work slowly. We've decided to keep his shoes on this winter as his feet seem to have - thanks to a hoof treatment and lots of seaweed - stayed intact! Last year they needed some recovery time, but he's so much stronger now he's had longer on his supplements. Small wins! I think he needs a clip soon - and a cheeky trip out show jumping!
