Tack Talk

Same again today with Remy, work in hand. I started with a short session with the bit asking for relaxation of the jaw and the beginnings of flexions and I was pleased with him. We worked on the giravolta and he moves forward and crosses his hind legs over in quite a controlled way, but he's not very consistent in his head and neck. We have either too much or too little bend. Something to work on.



I was out this afternoon at our local horse group, today was really just a horsey "ladies who lunch" but was quite interesting as everyone brought some unusual items of tack. Saddles, bridles, headcollars. bits, gadgets etc. we had a room-full, which provided us with some stimulating discussion. We even had a few examples of hoof boots which I'm very interested in as I want to keep the youngsters barefoot if possible.

A busy but enjoyable day.
