Back in shape

So for the past week and a half or so I have been really pushing Gwen a bit harder in an effort to both assess her soundness and start getting her fit. She has been doing so well! So far she's shown no sign of lameness, just a bit of stiffness when I get her going. I contribute this to her lack if exercise, the chilly weather, and the fact that she has been locked in a stall for three months.

Last night and this, I've been asking her to do a lot of extended trot, both on physical extension and in length of time in the gait. She even started offering to canter! I can't wait until the end of February when I can finally ride her again! 

My pretty girl!! Sorry for the slightly fuzzy quality.
