So, no eating "down time" for the acid to build up.<br />She is very calm traveling and not much excites her these days..she is such a good girl! Plus- her grain consumption is very little<br />2 C whole oats X 2 a day with Flax, Vita E, Gamma Oil, Garlic, mare magic and Source nutrients.<br />I am glad I read up on that too.Good to knownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-46512709059294436172009-06-23T10:10:29.099-07:002009-06-23T10:10:29.099-07:00Like I said..outside and often in an arena outside...Like I said..outside and often in an arena outside..she will canter fine.

Y...I sure wish I could give you some sound advice. Your right you need the arena or round pen. everything starts and continues with ground/arena exercise work (and keep her confined during those stinky moments.) But ...you do what you have to until that option becomes available to you again. I know you dont like that option BUT it would be better than trying these exercises with out either, I dont want you to get hurt. I really dont think if you cant find either that she will be too bad when you start back up, I mean if you continue riding like you do, she is still kept with a routine, exercise and is having to be mindful and she wont forget what she knows...may have a few rough starts but I'm betting she'll be okay when you do start back with arena work after winter. And I definitely agree with Kate, her silliness with the canter could be physical...or could be she is a mare...LOL you know how we women are! I really could be off base....so I'm curious to see what others suggest, every time I read someones blog or comments about horses I learn so much!!Welcome To Wilmoth Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324148511238133892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-44553804342966108672009-06-23T03:57:44.646-07:002009-06-23T03:57:44.646-07:00Could there be a soreness issue that's showing...Could there be a soreness issue that's showing up for the canter departure? - the canter is very lateral and if there's something wrong behind on one side or the other, or in the back, cantering can be painful. My mare used to do that a lot until we got her fixed on the chiropractic and saddle fit fronts. One other thing to consider - a horse with ulcers (which are surprisingly common) will have sensitive sides - sometimes overreacting to cues, with bucking, ear pinning etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
