This about sums up current events. Happy but muddy and hairy. We've had one of the coldest winters in a while with some extended periods of sub zero temps. Mixed in with some warmer days and quite a bit of rain. Needless to say, the farm is a mess and Jet is very muddy, but oh so pleased that the grass is turning green.
Both boys are doing well and I'm really happy with how Jet is holding up at 23. The flexions and in hand work 3 or so times a week seem to suit him and (knock on wood!) his TMJ seems to be doing well. I've also added in a bit of Legerete lunging and will continue to increase this as the weather allows. Lots of tricks and treats for him since he is the best boy and loves that stuff. He is particularly fond of smiling!
I don't have any current shots of Cruise in work but he is going just super. We've been back to weekly lessons for about a month and I'm really pleased with how much he has progressed with hit and miss training and riding around the horrible weather and questionable footing. LM commented on our first lesson back after a couple of months off, that he was more flexible on his harder side and basically, that we'd improved during the heart of winter, which surprised her. I give all the credit to the School of Legerete system. Just adding in the flexions and in hand work on days too nasty to ride, plus lunging in the Legerete way has added so much to my training possibilities.
In a couple of weekends we're riding in a 2 day clinic with Pippa Callanan at LM's facility. Excited to learn and refine techniques and hopefully I'll have some media to share.
Stay dry and enjoy almost Spring!
