Horse Behavourist and Chiro out yesterday

[WFL]

Had the Horse Behavourist out 1st who showed me a bending exercise to slow him down, and make him comfortable at slowing down. We then did an exercise which had me mount from the ground unaided, for the 1st time ever. On the way back in, we did some work at the mounting block and backing him in to his stable.

My chiro found that the right side of his pelvis was out, and we suspect the GP saddle, so no more jumping until the saddler has been to check it.

Finally we are getting somewhere!

It's amazing what chiro can do isn't it? Worked wonders on my mares stiff neck, she also had a couple of sessions of accupuncture, in good shape now, glad yours is coming together.

Hmmmm. Parelli teach a really safe "bend to a stop" technique - wonder if that's where your Horse Behaviourist got it?

 

[Talan]

Parelli and many others teach a 1-rein stop. They might have got it from Parelli or from 1000 other sources.

Sounds like it. He said that he has "borrowed" techniques from all over. If it works, use it!
