Update time! Gen was feeling NQR behind 2 weeks ago so I had the bodyworker out and she found various little things that were corrected. The NQR’ness was very subtle and I wondered if I was imagining it but I don’t think I was.
So he had bodywork and 1 week off and then I jumped on him again this morning. He feels fine, back to normal so fingers crossed he stays that way!
We did walk/halt/walk trans in our warm-up this morning and he did some very nice halts, quiet in the bridle and he engaged his HQ in to the halt, rather than letting it drag out behind. I had to keep my leg on tho.
Then we did long sides of the arena (he has to do mostly straight lines the first few rides back) and the diaganols. He did very nice trot and canter long sides, very quiet and forward but his back was pretty soft. V nice!!!
He was a bit spooky at the start, typical TB freshness.
He’s on this calming supplement “B Quiet” which is Vit b/thyiamine. So far so good but it’s exxy so I will only keep up with it if I get super results over time.
Ok that’s all for now!
