Tension in Dressage

I don't know how your horse releases, but mine is grey and I can definitely confirm she releases down her hocks (and tail) rather than her back ;)
My grey is good at releasing it on his hocks and tail, especially after I've groomed it😁
 
I'm pretty sure The Beast just thinks the arena is some kind of horse litter tray. I got a very diplomatic "lost trot" comment and a 5.0 when she did it in our dressage test. It made a change from all the rest of the comments "lacking purpose". Despite the fact that from my perspective on board she felt like a bomb about to go. Thems the breaks.
 
Ugh, the travel boots are the worst! If you ever see someone at a show scowling while wiping a grey horse's legs with a baby wipe it's likely to be me.

I'll be the other one, muttering rude things about him under my breath (probably because he's also waited for me to unwrap his tail to "decorate" it)

(only realised you're also over here just now!)
