Re: Frustrated LOL

Good to know, Chisamba! I should know something in a few days. My biggest concern is when I take him OFF of it - I have heard they can be very spooky coming off it. He has never BEEN spooky.

Re: Frustrated LOL

I found Oxford Equine! Tiki is still on modified stall rest - he was not handling stall rest well. We just started him on Resperine so he should be chilling out and not reinjuring himself!!! Thanks all!

Thanks, Demi!

He's an Arabian stallion off the track! And he won several major sraces, which is surprising given the fact that he is NOT a forward horse!

Thanks, all! I love my trainer! She is so much fun to work with. Last weekend she had me cracking up WHILE CANTERING because she called my horse Pepe Le Peu! Tiki was supposed to be my dressage horse 5 years ago, then we decided to play in the baby jumpers for a few years, but now he is having to go...

It's taken me forever but here is a Tiki update! The canter has been our nemesis unless I just half seat and cruise but now that we are focusing JUST on dressage we MUST get past it. This video is from my lessons the last few weekends. The trot is getting MUCH better. And I think the canter is impro...

Re: Goals Thread...

Showing Training Level English this weekend and hoping the canter doesn't SUCK and INTRO western - not adding canter to that until we are better at it English. The problem is, he has a great JUMPER canter, but Tiki is sooo hard to sit and doesn't like to stay on the bit. SO, goals are SOFT and ROUND...

I didn't go back and find my first post, but I randomly found UDBB through another site, I think.

Through the UDBB I met new friends with whom I still...
