hey my mare is out full time now which is great. Only thing is I think we might have to limit our schooling to hacks because she has been so so lazy. Ironic as earlier this year she was a complete maniac, now she is chilled as... Talk about extremes!! Took her in the school this evening. She was not listening to my inside leg at all, and wouldn't move off my leg. Just basically only half listening. I did lots of transitions and turns and things but it didn't do much. I rode with a schooling whip - just little taps and this got her forward a bit more but not very much. The other worrying thing was tonight she was making a groaning noise. Now her saddle's just been checked and refitted. I lunged her in it as well first to check it was fine and no problems. She's due to have her teeth done soon but they are not bad - do you think this might be it? She's not being fed anything at the mo - she's just on hay and grass because she ballooned out when she was turned out so keeping her weight down. We hack whenever I can which is most days, but we really need to work on our flat work!
