Got to ride one of their horses and practiced some on her. Super fun because she's so responsive and only needs a light touch. Side pass, spin, roll back for turns, etc. Hopefully, my hippo will be able to dothe same one day.
He meshed back in like he never left. :)

Do I have a training thread for him here? I think I'll use this one for that.

A tight 800, on the 800+ side of the mark.

He's terribly slow to react to lunging...Tired myself out with trying to keep him going! =/

Got him a bit, french link snaffle, need to adjust it some more, since it hangs a little low.

New girth also came in, but they still try to ride up forward as much as possible. =/ Darn his ridiculous shape!

Yesterday and today, I splashed him with water from the trough, he's not minding it much. Sucks the hose water is a nasty 55-65F! Cold! =0

Copying from my FB, so sorry for repeat info.
Gelding got a new bit, Mad Tack in Madison had one in stock! A french link snaffle. It needs to go up a hole.
He also got his new girth today, a Total saddle fit, but his gut seems to still shove it too forward. =/
He's so gosh darn slow to move out when lunging! Really have to get after him....Hoping he can get back to responding quicker soon. Wanting to add riding at a walk next week to his exercise program, then trotting the following week.
Oh, yesterday and today, I splashed trough water on his chest, legs and back/sides. Yesterday he was a touch off about it, but then chilled out. The hose water is a chilly 55-65, so I know he'll balk at that! I sure would! But the minis did great the other week,so hopefully he will as well.
:)
So glad to have him home, it was weird not having him around.

I don't know horses, but either you're very tall or he's pretty short... He doesn't look like a large horse :hide The ones I've been around all seemed to have their heads up above mine and I'm ~5'10"... He's sure pretty though.

Lol, he is 13 or 13.2h
I measured him at 13.2 last year, but when I was measuring his roundness, I decided to measure the minis to see if they grew any, (completely forgot what those were because of....---> ) Measured him as well so he wasn't left out, lol, but it said 13h!! =/
I must of done it wrong before or have a magical shrinking horse! =0
I'm 5'6"
