At home, I get "ok" gaits. They're fine; not spectacular, but not bad either. My boss/trainer for the moment is trying to move us up into the "good" gait range. He is perfectly capable! But at home, he has his little routine, and I allow it to happen. When I attempted to do something about it, he threw a little hissy fit. The "fighting" is totally unproductive, but fortunately one of my "good" traits is that I can let go of any issues, and work with the horse I have. When I did, he was SO much better. He also is a puss when the ring isn't soft and fluffy, which is a problem because 1. The ring is rarely soft and fluffy, and 2. He's an eventer now which means he has to work in grass half the time;)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445050580180134076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238270057465528187.post-65869150105382578902011-03-18T19:58:22.187-07:002011-03-18T19:58:22.187-07:00Is it possible that his hock injections are wearin...Is it possible that his hock injections are wearing off? How long do the effects last? They say that when a horse is behaving out of normal, perhaps there's a reason other than attitude, like pain.Jaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734427610358342051noreply@blogger.com
