The horses are living out and have been for a couple of weeks now. Still supplying vast quantities of hay, but oh my god life is so much easier! The horses are happy. I feel less guilty and to top it off riding has been good.
I hacked with Vicky and Marian at the weekend which was lovely although almost didn't happen because I had forgotten my bridle. Who would have thought we would manage to cobble together a bridle for a 16.2 horse from two people that own ponies :-) I will take this opportunity to mention when I got home I found a neue schule bit in the grooming box...... (Clearing throat)
Which incidentally I switched her to last night. I have been using a curved snaffle that I had found in my tack room from my collection when she arrived. But she does have times when she throws her head around a bit and stops to rub her nose on her legs a lot. I thought was a stress thing but I have thought about trying another bit. So after I found it I thought would give a go. I have no idea what it is but could have been a starter big with a lozenge. Anyway, she seemed much happier and no head rubbing at all!
For the last couple of schooling sessions has gone like a dream and have found myself suddenly wanting to ride again :-) so looking forward to Becky's next week.
