I tried Tanza's bridle on Taj. I was shocked that I didn't have to adjust the headstall but it seemed find, not too tight. And it worked well, I was not fearful of not being able to get Taj stopped so I let him canter more, he did his head tossing a bit but with the German martingale I didn't feel like I might get bopped hard in the nose and with my reins Taj was not able to get more slack in the reins so I was able to just ride through the tossing and he quit quickly. That was the bright spot of the week.
Friday was vaccine day. It was cold and icky. I had asked that the appointment add a lameness evaluation for Tanza but Dr Mike only had me trot him out and back and he said I could start riding him. Well with all the yeehaw and whatnot when I went to catch Sadie Tanza seemed sore later that day when I fed him. I guess I should start riding him at a walk though, it will probably be good for bone healing, but I'm going to have to continue laser yet and clearly Tanza is not ready to go in with Taj's pen because Taj will run Tanza around quite a bit at least at first. Oh well, so it goes. I guess I'll probably schedule another x-ray at CSU but not until mid-April. At the Jan 31 appointment the vet said it would be too early to see a change in x-rays and probably come back in a couple of months.
