Well got to the yard gave Izzy a quick groom and got my tack out. Izzy looked pretty chilled whilst I put her bandages on and made her matchy matchy (went for Lemon thought it would cheer up the miserable day!) and tacked her up. She had a minor tizzy at the badages and did a chicken impression but apart from that was as good as gold.
Went out to mountain block armed with neck strap, lead rope and volunteers, one holding her and one to do stirrups. I hopped on and she was fine, we then got led round the yard for one lap and then we were left to our own devices and she was fine an absolute star.
Although quite stiff at first she felt sooo much sounder than before which is great. I can't believe how much muscle she's lost though, I didn't think she had but once I got up on top it was really obvious and her neck was all flabby :( Still 11 weeks is quite a long time not doing anything especially if your stuck in a stable for all of it.
I think I will get the massagers on her tomorrow to start stimulating her muscles and also the magno rug :)
