Back in the Saddle


Well, Cody is back in the swing of things. He's gaiting great and other than an occasional mistep he's as good as new. He'll see the Doctor in January most likely, and then once a quarter.

We rode at Alafia on November 14th for the Alafia Barn Fundraiser, and we rode this weekend at Caloosa Park. We tried to ride last weekend, but T's coggins were expired by two days and they wouldn't let us in the Little Manatee River Park (bah). We had already pulled a new coggins but it wasn't back yet.

Since we were already out and about, we decided to stop by Alafia to ride there, BUT the horse trails were closed due to some marathon or something... so it wasn't in the cards. We took our horses for a nice long trailer ride :P

Luckily the coggins came back in time for us to ride at Caloosa Park last weekend.

It was an interesting ride at Caloosa. It's pretty open, lots of bicyclers and we met two other riders. Cody is doing real good and we're looking forward to camping!

The Road to Recovery


2 months of Dr. DiAmato has been miraculous for Cody. He's gained weight back, his body looks normal again and he's walking like a horse and not a crab.

Cody loves going to see the doctor and anticipates every exercise. He even helps!

At night, I do several reps of sternal lifts, pelvic tucks, and leg stretches with him. It really helps keep him in alignment between visits. He is back to his old self as far as attitude goes and he seems to be improving physically every day.

I'm hoping I can ride him before the December camping trip!
