I have a just 6 welsh section d who I have had for about 18 months, he was weedy and very green when I got him, just before lock down I fell off him which knocked me a bit and then we couldnt ride for about 8 weeks but I did in hand walking and lunging and trt. We are now riding again but my confidence has been knocked back, so I am having 2 lessons a week for half an hour working on the steering and off the leg in walk and trot We hack out twice a week with an older sensible horse for about 40 minutes and I walk in hand at least once and lunge over poles or obstacles like tarpaulin once a week and then do a trt session on the other day. So we are doing little and often, he has lost weight and the physio was very pleased with his development. I intend to build this up so we start cantering in the next couple of weeks and also longer hacks. I feel we are doing ok I do not want to rush it as he gets anxious and I am working on him just doing stuff calmly and quietly and not having a melt down/baby moment mental maturity I suppose. Am I doing enough? Never had one this green before so learning as we go along really.
