Who wants to be slave of their hormones???<br /><br />Yes trotting. I need to start a trotting programme for Teena. I ahve been incredibly busy. So when I ride I go hacking where teh ground is too slippery, when I am indoor, I canter, because I am afraid to canter outside.<br /><br />So yes next week I will start a trotting schedule for Teena ^-^Murielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491691754938320621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272013.post-47541633289526069812012-04-11T17:20:03.549-04:002012-04-11T17:20:03.549-04:00I think that the horses aren't the only ones w...I think that the horses aren't the only ones who were getting a fair share of exercise today. Sounds like good work to get those stifles in shape. I know we like to ride the horses up and down hills around here to get them in shape too. <br /><br />As for eating the leaves, we once had a giraffe for a horse too, he loved leaves and bark on trees. It was a little embarrassing sometimes standing outside a competition arena and having your horse chow down on the the trees. We walked him around a lot to get him away from his snacking.<br /><br />Peppercorn may not thank you right away but the neighbors and female cats in the area will, I'm sure. And in the long run he'll likely have a longer healthier life because he'll stay home more.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272013.post-17960042495155571582012-04-11T16:46:32.608-04:002012-04-11T16:46:32.608-04:00I have always believed that every time we interact...I have always believed that every time we interact with a horse we are training. I often think that the way we interact with our horses on the ground shapes them more than our work in the saddle. <br /><br />I so wish I had hills to work on! South Jersey is so flat!<br /><br />Peppercorn may not appreciate your intervention, but you're doing good work, anyway. He'll be less inclined to fight now, and that means a longer life for him. Not to mention saving many of his potential litters from a life as ferals!A Work In Progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076863943914879567noreply@blogger.com
