Thank you! We went and saw her again today! She's doing amazing! For the western riders-he got her to stop doing that extended trot! She's nice a slow now, still working on that lope though. She still likes to drop her inside shoulderOriginally Posted by Boanerges
Tora is looking good!!! Glad to hear she is doing well with her training even though I don't really know what spur training exactly is - lol. Even though i dont exactly know what it is I can still see shr very good looking horse and it is nice to hear that you are pleased with how she is doing
Think of spur training as taking a horse from an automatic transmission to a very touchy manual transmission! She is for advanced riders now, not because she is crazy, but because she is so difficult to ride. Moving your spur a few inches forward moves her shoulders and a few inches back moves her hind end. Touching her with only one spur tells her which lead to chose then to go into a lope within a step or two. She's having trouble with her left lead because she's a right "handed" horse. Just like humans they have a dominate side, and the weirdest part is that the side their mane lays on usually indicates which side is dominate. Not always, but usually, it's pretty neat.
