HEP

Chance and I went to the Hollis Equestrian Park this afternoon with A and Val. I was a little nervous about getting on after 2 months so we started with our ground work. The other change I have made is using a bosal instead of a bit. Tacking him up with the bosal has made a big difference. So much less stress in him. So today was the 1st ride with it. It was awesome. It was the final piece to the puzzle in helping him feel good about being ridden. He was so light and willing to go all over that ring. He wasn't glued to Val, he wasn't worried about anything and wanted to go. He is the horse that in the past felt like a rusty tin-man. He didn't want to go anywhere and never at a trot. Not today. He was trotting all over that ring and never once tripped. Now I can remember why I have a horse again. I am really looking forward to this weekend.
