Base Line

Here are a set of intake Pictures. We will revisit these poses in a month to see if there are changes.

What am I hoping to see?
I'd like to see her released in the base of her neck, with a little more lift in her belly.

Sweat Pattern

We finally got one on yesterdays Ride!!!  So its better than I was expecting! It is a little tight, but it was not too serious, especially since most of homeward is downhill we offen see the rough hairs. The saddle pad was really great, it didn't move and stayed well up in the gullet. These pictures are after she is washed, as sometimes you can see the dry areas better with the contrast. This picture is perfect down the back, we want it dry! and its almost even, just a little off to the Right. On the left the area circled has rough hairs and was just a little dry, bigger than the right side, but makes sense with the slight shift to the right. On the Right side you can see the dry spot better, again because the saddle shifted slightly right it put a little more pressure on this side. Those areas are our watch spots, we hope it gets better as she develops. Some of the asymmetry may be coming from uneven muscle development from her tight shoulders.

Catching Game and Body Wrap

so...Rosie has learned that the catching game means she turns and looks and you come to her. To play the game with its intent is to teach the horse to come to catch the human! This is important distinction in that we want her to say "play with me!" It is habit now, which we will change, and after some play today I got several steps to me!  Ground play is good, she is responsive and light. She just needs some connection through her ribs to the hind end. In that light I gave her a body wrap ! Which she seemed to enjoy!
