I think training a young horse is not much easy , the trainer need to have much experience to train a young horse. The challenge was very interesting. Thank you very much.

I am very glad to know that your buddy is healthy again. I think it is so frustrating when your loved animal gets sick because they can’t really express themselves easily the way that we can comprehend.

Excellent progress! I think once one thing clicks, something else clicks and pretty soon, all the blocks are falling into place nicely.

Nice having that big arena, isn’t it? I’m all jealous and stuff.

I’m eager to re-start my training program as soon as the ground is less a bog.

As far as contact with the right rein…have you tried riding squares? Squares puts them on the outside rein and give you control of that shoulder.

I was just thinking the other day about how when you first got Ace he would stop all the time. Do you remember those days? The easiest exercise I can think of is spirals. See if spiraling in and out can get him a little more supple and into the contact.

OTB – now you’ve got me researching the whole hunter’s bump thing all over again. I’d already been concerned about that last summer during his lameness issues, but from everything I read he didn’t have any signs other than the protrusion. He doesn’t have any good reason to have one … he never raced, he mostly stood around in a pasture, and he hasn’t jumped until me. And horses can have that bump as a result of conformation rather than injury – and it’s not like his conformation is all that fantastic to begin with.

Fortunately, he’s been quite sound for months and months, and we’ve done lots of work to build up the strength in that hind end. As long as I keep that up, I’m doing what I can for him either way I guess. Good to be aware of it, but as long as he’s sound and happy, I’m not going to worry too much. You can bet I’m always keeping an eye on it!

Anybody have experience with “hunter’s bump” and SI injuries? Feel free to jump in with your experiences and thoughts.

He looks great! Congrats on doing such a wonderful job conditioning him, especially considering all the set backs with foot problems!

Umm…don’t kill me, but I am going to agree with Jenn that Mr. Ace does indeed have a hunter bump (don’t blame camera angels), but considering where he started I think we will forgive him . Honestly though…he looks FANTASTIC now!! And he is so shinny! He looks amazing! I can’t get over it. He is like a before and after ad. Plus it is winter and you have mentioned that he is a hard keeper. He doesn’t look it! You should be so proud!
