Of late we have worked on flexiblility, and sensitivty to comands (Aids) all in hand
work and some lunging... doing well,
I now have a very chilled horse.. Accpeting to work mentally better now, instead
of looking at me with evil eyes saying "you cow!!! Why do you want me to do
that!?" lol...
We are working on flexing his neck to the right and left from the lightest of pulls on
the rope... he should react to the lightest breath of a pull.... and also worked on
him flexing and bending his neck down....
Also moving over front end to the side and back end over to the side when
pressure applied in front of and behind the girth area... and finally teacing repect
for my zone and moving his quarters away if I look at them away and over and to
learn to always present his head for me squarely not just standing in any old
way... Not bed sessions..
Always finishing off ith a slow relaxing stroll down the lanes and later will do his
harder exercise walk...
hey I almost sound as if I know what i'm doing??!!! lol
Have weighed him and wormed him 1 full wormer.. he weighed 570 kilos... and also
started feeding him hardfood and haylege... the wormer was £17.00 equest it will
need repeating 4 x per year an altinating with it's sister product to keep him worm
free....
Hes having a good scoop of non heating pony mix and also the same of sugar beet
with 2 eggs mixed in to make him shine, next week I will add a good chaff to it, to
help him chew many more times , as that is always the aim with a horse, addjng in
some biotin and multi vit, as he has 2 huge cracks in his front feet which are
worrying my, one is a hair crack up to the whole height of his foot the other is a
very old deep crack all the height again... but nobody is perfect....
Better go feed him...
