So, we are at week 12 of rehab for Jet. We started with short hand walks, got them up to 40 minutes, started short walks under saddle, gradually replaced the hand walks with longer under saddle walks, added in short trots at 8 weeks, and started short canters inside at 10 weeks. I used the TRT Method for the hand walks and walk under saddle work and general spookiness, and the Dressage Naturally techniques as soon we had the loose rein walking down. He has been the BEST boy about no turnout for 11 weeks and just the BEST boy in general. Couldn't be happier with how he looks in this video using the DN techniques. Love the smooth transitions, the flowy work, and the much longer neck. Really pleased and feel like I not only have a base to build on but I know exactly what I need to do next and how I need to do it.
Oh he looks fantastic! Beautiful transitions!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Lots of stuff to work on, but really liking this spot as the baseline...
