I've switched to winter riding boots and they feel like Sorrels in my irons. <br /><br />I know I need to get Handsome to consistently give me a good, forward trot. And I know I nag.

With me though, it is nagging with spurs - and I want to work toward losing these and the nagging. <br /><br /><br />My trainer uses 3 quick whaps (don't know how else to put it!) with her legs to correct - and it certainly gets their attention.<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing more!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10313417800020012776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-2695859046233548602011-11-08T06:44:07.351-08:002011-11-08T06:44:07.351-08:00Carol...just caught up with the last several posts...Carol...just caught up with the last several posts. Happy to read that Rogo is doing well and that you are just about ready to ride him again. I so envy you opportunities to ride on a beach.

I love the photos- especially of your cute car! I'm glad Rogo's surgery went well and he is back to his old self (including the- I love how you put it- running out which gave us the chance to have a discussion about who is in charge). What a good work ethic he has!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00141033474195269489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-33390073505953063802011-11-07T16:06:28.585-08:002011-11-07T16:06:28.585-08:00Sounds like a great lesson.

Once I send my horse forward, he doesn't usually stay forward and I feel like I need to push his every stride. And our judge's comments always say "more forward!" But that's what I get for trying to re-train after our days of showing western pleasure etc. on the QH circuit.<br /><br />I'm glad the sarcoid removal all went ok.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892171126205170882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528949271317164229.post-91333106085240440552011-11-07T16:02:14.503-08:002011-11-07T16:02:14.503-08:00It sounds like you had a great lesson!

Glad the sarcoid...Does sound like the perfect day!<br /><br />Glad the sarcoid removal went well - that's a relief.<br /><br />To get forward, I try to feel the rhythm I want the horse to use in my own body, and if I don't get a response with the aid I want to end up using, I go immediately to a secondary aid (say a crop on my leg) so that I don't train the horse only to respond to a stronger primary aid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
