hello hello!
Right things are moving along nicely for me and Del, he's packing weight on, he's becoming a bit more (ahem) lively, he's carrying himself so much better and thanx to his new boyfriend (yes he has a boyfriend) he is feeling a lot happier in himself. I'm actually able to get on him faster (let me find some wood to touch...) and he seems so be slowly learning that I'm not going to hurt him when i get on.
I'm starting to ride him more often since what used to be an hours job getting on him has now turned into a 5 minute affair which is a massive improvement so I wanted to know what peoples opinions/tips are about fitness? I can't ride every day but trying to atleast do 5 days a week, even if a few are only 20 mins. We both get bored easily so would like to keep him interested in his work (he has TB pea brain so easily distracted!)
His muscle tone has improved thanks to using the pessoa and he has cottoned onto working long and low but he can lean on the bit too. I jumped him last weekend and he proper loved it, got really psyched up tho not in a psycho way!!! Took him to practice day at a local show and he was slightly confused. Decided to rear up which wasn't pleasant but soon calmed down (had to follow a flippin pony round for half hour tho!!)
anyway I'm rambling away so um any suggestions will be welcomed!!!
