I rode with music last night, one ear bud in and one out (so I could still hear if something needed to be heard). Since he was so fresh/jumpy on Monday I didn't want to be able to hear what he heard so that it wouldn't worry me. I am not sure if it really helped but what a world of a difference our ride was.
Started out long and low... changing direction a lot... sitting trot... canter with good transitions... walk/canter without stirrups... sitting trot no stirrups... posting no stirrups.

| He has the crazies mane ever! I wet is and brush it to the right every night.. doesn't help! |
You gotta braid it to train it.
ReplyDeleteI have a fear that he will rub it out if I do that ha!
DeleteSuper Hold Sport hair gel really helps keep it over for a week or so.
ReplyDeleteI figure at a real show we will have to braid and that it will stay if braided haha!
DeleteIDK I think Louie may have Henry beat in crazy mane dept. Glad Your boy was better behaved last night!
ReplyDeleteI remind Lou's mother on a regular basis that his mane is WILD lol
DeleteMy daughter's horse, Hennessy's mane was just like that. Yeah for good ride!
ReplyDeleteI think it's kind of cute when it's all crazy! :)
DeleteThey generally don't rub out the training braids because they're nowhere near as tight as show braids. That said, my guy has the goofiest mane and I have fixed it just because I think it's cute. I take great care of all the other horses in the barn, though.
ReplyDeleteI figure I keep it pulled and clean so a little Mohawk is character :)
DeleteLove the new banner/ main picture!!! So cute!!! :)
ReplyDeleteDitto!
DeleteMy trainer tried doing the banding/braiding thing to Libby's mane, but it really didn't work :-/
ReplyDeleteyeah i am ok with the crazy hair :)
