I'd like to be able to ride him for a long time and it is totally worth it to back off the workload a bit.Exploring Dressage Biomechanicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14859580820686218207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116347719167321852.post-27471154795957907032021-10-26T06:53:08.865-07:002021-10-26T06:53:08.865-07:00I love what you are doing with him.

I have nothing against maintenance but with an older horse if you're starting to inject everything time to change things up.Exploring Dressage Biomechanicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14859580820686218207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116347719167321852.post-32909749666428155052021-10-25T08:31:56.694-07:002021-10-25T08:31:56.694-07:00There's nothing wrong with your decision to ea...There's nothing wrong with your decision to ease up on the workload instead of increasing the meds to compensate treating him for it. I feel the same- if you have to go in injecting everything- that should tell you there's a bigger problem and things are getting worse, not better. <br /><br />It's why I don't start any of mine until they are at least 3 and they still only work 3 days a week, maybe 4 if I can fit it in. I would rather take my time all along and have them around and sound for years to come, rather than rush things and blow them out at an early age leaving them ruined into their 'golden years' at the age of 10....
