Monday we hacked out in the fields for a while just meandering.
Wednesday I went out at about 7:00 that evening (most unheard of for us) and plodded around for about an hour. W/T/C he was pretty good a tad resistant though.
Thursday he had off.
Today I got out fairly early and decided to try out a new bit. Which is not a success. I was super surprised at just how much he protested it. So tomorrow we're going back to our regular bit until I can come up with another one to try. However he still w/t/c fairly politely each direction and we rode with 2 other people. AND he wasn't a jerk. We finished up taking a lap around one of the fields which actually amped him up instead, oh well! Then he had to get hosed off. Poor man was s-w-e-a-t-y I felt pretty bad for him. Of course he thought the wash stall was torture but he behaved.
Fingers crossed tomorrow he's happier switching back to his old bit.
It's funny how much they hate some bits! I bet he's better next ride.
ReplyDeleteyeppp we went back to our regular one today and definitely appreciated it :)
