Continuing to improve

Louie continues to slowly improve. I have been doing physical therapy with him every day. He is very tolerant of the "tail pulls" of 10 seconds on each side for 3 reps. He is ok with 30 seconds of stretching and holding his back legs forward. But, will only go about 10 to 15 seconds with his leg stretched out behind him. He is ok with holding his right ("bad") leg out longer, but not the left leg. I think he is more tolerant of the forward stretching as it is a more supportive hold.

Today his left rear was having a little bit of intermittent locking. It would be very brief and you could hear a little "click" I haven't seen that in a while but it was very minimal. And he continues to be much smarter then my horse in out bow training sessions.

  1. Or Marie is much smarter than Louie in that she doesn't WANT to learn any new tricks. ;)
