well ive started doing bits and pieces with gypsy. she wouldnt stand still to mount in the beginning and was very very impatient so ive been working on mounting and then just sitting there and getting off and on again. i havent been doing any real riding as i felt her back was out and have been waiting for the chiro to come out. all ive done really is gently start applying leg pressure getting her to move away from it etc ive also been doing 'stuff' in the saddle to desinsitise her a bit. everything freaks her out so ive been working on doing things like playing with my stirrup leathers etc to get her used to stuff going on. shes doing well with that.
she has this thing about throwing her head up and then right down even just standing there. hence why i figured it was her back. i havent hopped on her again since these photos as her behaviour led me to believe that she was in some sort of discomfort. that and shes a less then well broke tb lol
so anyway the chiro came out this morning and i recieved the 'beyond the track' book i ordered so hopefully we can get on with it all now in the pic with her head up im not pulling or anything but the chiro said she was out through her poll, her back and her hips so thats probably where that came from.
ill keep you all posted on how she goes
