Stupid rain. I hate Florida weather. Anyways, went out to the barn to torment Berky some today. Rode mostly in the dressage arena at a walk/trot and fiddled with his headset (ergh). I hate riding new horses in there so much- I feel like if something happened, I would have nowhere to contain them. No issue after I know how the horse reacts in the fenced arena, but until then...
Have I told you how much I hate his corkscrew snaffle? I'm riding in it per Allanah's reccommendation, but I have a hard time getting him to relax in it. I'd almost rather ride in a short-shank low port pelham with just the snaffle rein for a while and add the curb rein later. Meh.
Tomorrow he starts his Adequan series for his hocks. I get to hang out all morning at the barn while I wait for the vet. Fun, fun. At least he'll be a little more comfortable. His arthritis is so mild that it's more prevention and maintenance than anything else.
PS-
Don't forget your towel!
