So here are some pictures of the Walkaloosa J He is a joy to work
with most days. Has a bolting issue whenever he has to work too much but
luckily for me he is none too fast and very slow legged so it’s kind of like
your fat Labrador at fetch vs. a greyhound. You think it’s cute when he tries
to “run” because it’s a waddle.
Trouble is as he is getting fitter he is also a bit faster
at ducking around when he does get loose from me a bit.
I try not to punish forward so I get run away with… A lot!
I have found some suppling work confuses him and makes for a
mess of a ride so Ive tried to use big on the rail riding really forward and
with lots of flexion down and then release once he gives.
Since these pictures I’ve had one really nice roundish ride
but the TROT he does when he does it vaults me out of the saddle! He has some
impulsion behind naturally which is nice but Im not used to it because my
horses have been flattish of late.
Lately I have learned a few things about how horses should
be “athletic” in every sense. Stretching, building muscle, and endurance.
