26th - Road To Recovery

near Warwick, Warks.

Smokey continues to make a good recovery - having been quite literally a few hours away from the knacker at Christmas, he has overcome a near-fatal liver illness and is now ready for a spot of gentle trotting. Being a young boy, it's best if the trot can go through the nearest puddle :o))

I must add that his recovery is in no small part due to the devoted attention and love of his besotted rider

Great to see Smokey looking well. He's a dead ringer for Felix, a pony I rode as a teenager.

A truly magic moment captured which will be even more valuable as time passes.

Is that a smile on his face? Sheer joy?

Great action shot, and great to hear of the recovery- mind with those puddles, can you get 'trench hoof'!?

Glad to see Smokey out and about. Looks like Naomi is not too upset about going through the puddle herself. :)

I'm so happy that Smokey's on the mend now! He looks like a fine young horse and your daughter obviously loves him very much! Girls and horses go hand in hand! :)
