Improvements already

So I saddled him up last night and he was better from the moment he turn to me in his stall. He no longer has a problem turning around in his stall or in the aisle. The twisting behind is gone and he did not pin his ears when I put the saddle on him.

I did alot of walking at first on a loose rein ... he happily walked along and it was not lateral. When I picked up the rein we added in some trot on the long sides at first... all went well. He is still slightly short up in the right front but not too bad and no real pony steps. He was really enjoying himself and his trot was easy to post to. I gradually added in some short sides and then called it a day.

I think Blu was smiling... he feels better and he loves to work. What a wonderful horse. I love him even more for being the kind and patient soul that he is -- most horses would not have been so kind due to the pain he was feeling. How lucky am I?
