Now that that's over. I haven't blogged in a while about Mr. Derp. (I feel like every post starts with that). I have been so swamped with school. OMG! But I am now one small assignment away from being DONE WITH MY COLLEGE CAREER! Holy crap batman!
So as for Derp. We didn't do much this winter. I started riding a bit more in the Spring but still nothing substantial. We were going to go to a fun show.....just for fun... in late April. But the lesson the day before he told me quite loudly that he was not feeling well. He actually bucked with me. See the thing with Mr. Derpypoo is he doesn't buck. He just doesn't do it. When he doesn't like something he goes into giraffe mode and opens his mouth. He'll speed up or get all choppy and flail his legs around everywhere. That's how he shows me he doesn't like something. So when he bucked, which was a pathetic buck at that, I knew something was up. I had noticed earlier that he was fine at the trot to the right but totally discombobulated to the left. Which is strange because on a normal basis we are the opposite. So we got to poking and prodding him and watching his movement and he is definitely out in his SI. This is the second time. I am concerned that I am going to have to think further ahead and think about possibly having to think medication or injection. Or if he just needs chiro work more often. We've got an appointment on the 13th with the vet who also does Chiro work. Fingers crossed it's that's simple.
But on another note, he's looking amazing. You can kind of see his dapples in that picture above but here's a better one. You can also see how he stands when he's uncomfortable.
