Scottie's leg looking fantastic this morning after having his stitches out! However, in true Scottie style, he has managed to reopen the front half 😔 doesn't look terrible so will wait to see what our vet friend says in the morning. #nightmare #cantbetrusted #tb #ottb Braving the morning out. Fingers crossed he won't escape! #thoroughbred #ottb Fantastic haul from @equimindcompetitions last month! Read about our photo showing success on the blog and keep your eyes peeled for the new post about our dressage! #teamEquiMind #dressage #showing Using a @horslyxuk to bribe Scottie into staying in his pen. Longest time out with no escaping so far! But he may have stopped moving around... #ExRacehorse #ottb #rehab #injury Scottie is finally out! Virtually no silliness. But 5 mins after I left him to it he escaped from his pen and had to come back in 😑 no more unsupervised turnout for this monster! #ottb #tb #cheeky @jackbarzey posing with this months @equimindcompetitions winnings! 1st, 4th and 5th in dressage and showing! #teamequimind
