if my horse had a brain, he'd be dangerous

[blood_magik]

my silly boy managed to damage his sacroiliac muscles two weeks ago and my vet has advised me to lunge him either in side reins or the pessoa training system 10 minutes a day for 11 days.

only problem is, jerry has a meltdown whenever i put my side reins on him decides that they are way too scary to be anywhere near him

i swear, if he had a brain he'd be dangerous

God, this happened to Kalief a couple of years ago, was a nightmare. I ended up using a pessoa and it worked for me & him, though we had to do 20 min twice a day for 6 weeks!

Hope he feels better soon

(I haven't lunged since you know, though our voice commands are pretty good!)

im starting to think he's planned this whole thing meticulously so he doesnt have to work (and he's got my vet in on it)

thank god i only have 6 more days of lunging because he's driving me insane - he's usually such an angel

Agree about side-reins, they *are* scary!

Good luck getting him better

still not convinced he's hurt
he's been acting like a youngster - you wouldnt think he was 20 this year haha
