I trotted Mandros today for 5 minutes and his leg looks good. He still isnt back 100% yet, but he is on his way. The wound still looks nasty but it looks like it isnt as deep and its closing up.
I hopped on Mandros' owner's other horse, Lucantos, and walked and trotted him for a couple mintues. This was my first time riding him, so I was pretty excited. His walk and trot are very elevated and I felt like I was jumping on a trampoline when I trotted him. He is a very different horse than Mandros. He is a big, bulky warmblood, and Mandros is a smaller (still 16.1hh), refined warmblood. I really enjoyed riding Lucantos, even if it was for a few minutes. Its been a long time since Ive been able to really ride, so it was great to be able to ride Lucantos.

Glad to hear Mandros is still progressing well! I'm glad you got to ride Lucantos, too. Sounds fun!
Ooh..Lucantos sounds lovely. I'm hoping to find a schoolmaster with lots of suspension to ride one day. I've never felt that.
I'm jealous...I want to ride the big giant pony. :)
But great job for Mandros!
YAY! I'm glad he is healing so well. Keep up the good work! It sounds like Lucantos was a BLAST to ride.
