This Horse...

I planned to hack Wednesday but that didn't happen SO I made time for it Thursday...



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!

  2. Compliments 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.
