He's surprisingly weak. I was working him in long lines for conditioning, but he is well over 6 months on his injections and I can see he is starting to have trouble with his right stifle again. Until I get him re-evaluated and get his injections re-upped, I won't be working him in small circles. <br /><br />His hocks look good and he showing some significant remodeling in his lower legs, so I am hoping that the only injections he will need from now on is the stifles. That may yet be a conditioning thing or it may be a forever maintenance thing. Only time will tell.

You're two are the size of my two and last time we were at Cindy's she told Melody they made her look small. Lol <br /><br />Have you tried working him in the lines at the lope? Maybe there's something going on with him that you see visually and can pin down, that for some reason doesn't make sense when riding him? Worth a shot if nothing else.

No...Shirley, he is 16.2 (actually 16.1 and 3/4ths). Not quite as big as I thought he was initially. I had guessed him to be around 16.3, but when I noticed that Shooter was almost as tall as Jet, I finally sticked them. Shooter is 15.3 (and a 1/2)...and I have absolutely NO idea how/when that happened. Shooter is my 'baby' boy, he's not supposed to be that big. LOL. Being around Jet must have gotten me used to 'big' because when I had all of the boys in Utah last weekend, everyone was commenting on my gigantic horses...<br /><br />And then there is LJ...who isn't quite 14.2. Riding him feels like riding a pony compared to my other geldings. Hahahaha<br /><br /><br />BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-51083632715913483852014-10-25T20:40:23.917-06:002014-10-25T20:40:23.917-06:00He has come a long way- I remember some of your ea...He has come a long way- I remember some of your earlier posts about some of his issues.

That you don't push farther than you have to with one of your horses. You let them figure it out and work with what they give you. I hope that makes sense hahaha, it's a compliment. The way you say hey, if you're not ready for w/t/c we'll do walk/trot is awesome. Too many people push and push and do more damage than good, then have to go back and fix it. Do it right the first time, that way you don't have to fix it! :)Madeline C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14246076712179468308noreply@blogger.com
