even when you're in walk...
and of course because i didn't know there were terrors in the long grass at the side of the track, i wasn't quick enough to stop the walk whip round...
walk, i ask you!
never mind, we got lots of exercise walking back up and down the back drive and then he consented to trot round the arena without stopping (well, he tried, but agreed to continue)
course he's still wrapping his head round the fact that the saddle no longer impinges where it did, being a new one, so hopefully that won't take that long...
also need the girth straps to soften some more...
and have had to get new girth, we concluded that the 26" was in fact too long .....
Did you not know the famous green bladed dragon lurked in the tall grasses?
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show Monfils is more informed than the average human. *VBWG*
Glad to hear the saddle is working out.
