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...
