I have been working on hacking with very little contact and having a horse who is really responsive to my seat and voice in downward transitions and quick to respond to my leg in upward transitions. He has been great, really great. I am really loving this horse A LOT, A LOT LOT! I mean I love him unconditionally but lately I have LOVED riding him ever ride.
I have also been going on a cool out "trail ride" around the property after my rides.. I am not naturally comfortable going wandering around myself but I have been doing it to push myself. I think Henry has been really enjoying it and I must say I am starting to enjoy it too!

Hubby works the next 4 days sooooo no riding for me till Monday boo! Henry will get a trainer ride tomorrow and some turn out Saturday and Sunday.
Oh he also had the Chiropractor out today, lucky boy! His back/hips were out a bit, his neck was a little out and he said he needs his teeth done soon. But he did get an A+ for behavior and overall he said Henry is just a really nice horse, yahoo! I love hearing that bahahahahaha!
Henry is so cute! Sounds like he is a very good boy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!! He is a fab boy!!
DeleteCompliments from professionals are always nice. :D I've been pushing myself too and it does make riding so much more enjoyable (I'm bad about giving in to my fears)! I'm glad you are enjoying Henry so much.
ReplyDeleteMy trainer is great about pushing me in lessons otherwise I'd be cinplacrnt in the moment, even tho I really want to be pushed .. But once I get going I'm all about it :)

Deletehe's such a handsome dude :) and the little strolls around the property sound really relaxing and liberating!
ReplyDeleteYeah and I think he really likes them... sadly winter is coming so they won't be as often but I'll get them in when I can :)
DeleteBeautiful trails around your facility! =) I used to do that a lot but now its too dark when I get to the barn.
ReplyDeleteYeah now that I am staying home I get to ride once or twice a week during the day, it's awesome lol!
