Christine,
Although I also did not make the show and can't really speak for anyone else, I'm sure everyone understands your difficult situation. I'm a nurse and can understand the weight of your situation. So many family members don't help out, I ap…

That would be great if you come to meet everyone. We do plan to organize some group trailrides this season. Be sure to check back often as we are constantly updating!

Your recent pictures - you use a bitless bridle with Cocoa? I've used a bitless bridle with Lidia for 2 years now. She has dysfunctional TMJ and I have awful hands. Between the two we had a lot of issues with bits.
She's wonderful with her bitless bridle. Very light. I had the good to sense to long line her the first time I tried it - she pitched a perfect fit looking for her bit. She likes to lean and she had a lot of practice before I even knew she was doing it. She settled after 20 minutes or so and I'll never go back.

Canadian Horse Link said… - Hi Cheryl (and Cocoa:), that is so interesting for you to say because, ME TOO, my paint mare who is 6 years old and finished growing, will kick out when she slips in frustration and also buck on lunge line when she canters, she is having a lot of trouble balancing in canter on lunge line and even in larger circles in our sand ring - she is the oldstyle stocky type of paint. My buddy here in Ontario told me that it is because she is leaning on the forehand instead of sitting down on her haunches in canter, this is throwing her off balance. Have you noticed that they can canter perfectly on a straight line? Cree (my paint mare) has no trouble or hesitation to canter with me on a straight line on solid footing, i.e. grass but she is very anxious doing so in our deep sand ring. At first I thought it was rebellion against the canter but her work ethic is terrific, it is absolutely a balance issue. So I stopped asking her for canter on the lunge or in the sand ring and low and behold, she surprised me recently by asking to canter after Flache (my friend rides Flache for me), it was a sloppy, poorly balanced type of jog, but we praised her for it and she offered to do it again. I am going to leave her along for awhile and just work on our walk-trot transitions and going over cavalettis (this will help them in their balance). A gal in CA has a 4 y.o. Canadian on lease and he too is struggling in canter and bucks when asked, otherwise he is very willing. I am dyslexic so I tend to ask Cree to canter on the wrong lead and I can't seem to get the leads right, I will hire another coach to tell me when I have put her on the wrong lead, hopefully I can learn to do this by feel.
Jody!
