I have had two good rides this week. While there is just a little something going to the left, I have reintroduced the canter and it feels quite good. Dr. Liz was by this evening and thought he was making remarkable progress. She thought his canter to the right was perfect and he needs a little help going to the left. So with her direction, we will focus on keeping him conditioned by going to the right and adding the left as it feels good. She also said we can trail ride. It would be very good for him to get out of the ring. Yay...
I am going to have to look at his saddle since it is too tight as it sits behind the shoulders. He has gained weight and I do not think he had much room to spare to begin with. Oh well, better to fix the saddle issue then to have ongoing soundness issues.
Dr. Liz said we could think about doing some shows the end of August/ beginning of September at training or first level. I may just consider it to get us both back in show shape.
All said, this was a great day!!!
