we started off like this:
and managed some of this:
but spoilt it rather with some of this:
and this for good measure:
warmed up like a lamb and managed 99% of AM85 really sweetly,on song for about 63/64% and then completely out the blue gave me a bolt upright rear instead of the second change, getting himself a 1 and absolutely hammering the submission score and final centre line for an eventual 60.8%.
AM92 he seemed to be a reformed character until he got his tongue over the bit (which i think was a genuine mistake as he's never done it before), so i had to stop and retire to sort that out, judge kindly let me finish and even kinder carried on scoring, but having halted he then downed tools and crawled through the remaining walk, stuck, shuffled and tried to stop in both piri's and did a very idle transition to trot, before having to be pony club whalloped in to canter to avoid another rear.
he's going on a month of omeprazole (active ingredient of gastroguard) as its same cost as a scope, and if its definately not ulcer related then im at a loss and an going to BBQ the little turd........................................he's been super at home and improving steadily in terms of WAY less explosions, sometimes grumpy yes but goes when asked with minimal grumping and after 5/10mins is off and motoring, whether shows make him tenser than i realise and DO affect his tummy?????????????
warm up was foot perfect and judge said she couldnt see a thing either in my riding or externally, that should have set him off. she was at a loss too.
was really quite down and disappointed yesterday but today am a bit brighter, onwards and upwards, i know he CAN do it, its just a case of working out whats going on in his head, as if he's getting better and better and easier and easier at home, what am i doing/whats happening, different, at a show, need to get thinking cap on.
he had 1/4 dose of calmer, and was really completely un explosive and dobbin calm in the warm up.
:bah:
