it started raining as i left the house..... :-(
but Monf, RI and I were the only ones who got wet, it had dried up by the time gaynors lesson started.. :-(
Anyway, ground work as planned, and RI did some ridden schooling as well, useful for her (to know how he goes, what's his stiff side, etc ) and for him (to work out what's wanted before I try, LOL) and for me, watching and trying the in hand again myself.
by the end of the lesson he looked like a much happier horse
she thinks, and this is probably right, but i hadn't thought about it, he's very easy to block due to being very sensitive... but it's clear that it's me been blocking ... less hand, claire, less hand!
on the coligone, di, the idea is that use something like this as an initial diagnostic, and only go the whole expensive hog of scope and gastrogard if the results of the coligone lead you to think that you were right in thinking of ulcer...
Despite the rain, it sounds like a good lesson. Getting your instructor to work him for you really helps
ReplyDeleteHope you are able to ride again soon so you can test out some of the new ideas.
glad it went well (if a little wet!!) hope the coligone gives some answers
