Time flies ...

... again time is running away with me.

Much has happened over the past weeks and when I get a little more peace and quite time I write in more detail.

To summarize: 

'Neill' had been to visit 'Mr F' and was treating his body as 'Mr F' was quite stiff again in his hind quarters. According to 'Neill', this stiffness this time seemed to come from the front mostly, and a little also through tenseness in his digestive system.

The digestive system issue can be down to him having access to grass now, since the beginning of this month, although not very lush fields, deliberately. He does get soaked hay still to make the change over more subtle. 

But what causes that stiffness at the front is not yet quite certain. I suggested that it may be the rugs they wore over winter. 'Mr F' is somewhat in between sizes, either the rug is too tight or too long, both resulting in it restricting his shoulders. And although I have swapped between two rugs regularily it may have been enough to cause some of the stiffness. 'Neill' did say that he does noticed this quite regularily.  Althought hat is not where it ends, there could also be some contact issue which has to do with me as the rider. Our next get together will involve ridden work so 'Neill' can see both of us as a unit. 

Many many more thoughts on Aikido and energies - 'Neill' came with us for his first Aikido experience, which was most interesting to observe ... but for that I need to find a peacful moment withouth interuptions. 

Meanwhile 'Mr F' and I keep going out, on a few hacks around the area but mostly we go for walks and explore. But most of all we have enjoyed the warm sunshine, all of us lying in the fields, including the cat!

More to come soon.
