Flash has been assigned some light physio to get his muscles working again. \u00a0For the past 6 weeks, he has been walking over poles to encourage him to lift his injured back leg and build the muscles back up. \u00a0 The vet came 3 days ago and said his condition had improved enough to start trotting him for 5 minutes or so. She advised we start in a straight line or \u00a0in a clockwise direction at first to reduce strain on his unstable stifle. \u00a022 y.o. Auspicious obviously thought it was his job and got him running back and forward along the boundary of the arena. Ideally Flash should have been in the arena on the grass rather than working in the deep soft sand, and I am not sure the rearing was part of the plan. \u00a0I love the first image, where they are nose to nose across the fence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-3767\" alt=\"20130719 014\" src=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-014-300x203.jpg\" width=\"298\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3766\" alt=\"20130719 015\" src=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-015-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-015-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-015.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-006.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3765\" alt=\"20130719 006\" src=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-018-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-018-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-018.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-028.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3762\" alt=\"20130719 028\" src=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-028-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-028-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-028.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-006.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3769\" alt=\"20130719 006\" src=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-006-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-006-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-006.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-026-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3763\" alt=\"20130719 026 (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-026-2-200x300.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-026-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cathmiller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/20130719-026-2.jpg 534w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three months after his latest injury, 17 y.o.
