    Such an exciting new chapter for you! It’s such a tough decision to make and when you can’t manage the pain with intervention you have certainly made the right decision. Luckily Pepe is ok with injections so I am able to keep him as a happy hacker (walk) and keep him comfortable but if there came a time where we couldn’t do this then retirement would be the best option xx

    It is never a failure. It simply shows where you have issues to address. Nothing is failure. That trot was too tough because you tried to stand on your toes. Instantly pushing the leg back. Stand into your heel ! All the weight down through the heel. The leg suddenly becomes stable. And waking in you could come with a loose rein and leg on or just sit quiet.

    Oh I don’t think that was a complete failure! I thought your walking jumps were brilliant! Lucinda talks about the sloppy canter or the boring canter a lot in her clinics in order to decrease the enthusiasm and I’ve seen her work with her students on this over and over in one session until the horse is so bored of the jump they eventually loll over them. I haven’t seen the 28 day challenge myself but I imagine this is what she means? Anyway! I was so impressed as I know from your previous video how jumping is a big hurdle for you confidence wise! I hope you continue to share the challenge with us! Xx
