Well, Gabe got some riding this week despite the weather. Sunday, it was terribly wet, but, I got on Gabe bareback and worked on flexing and moving the shoulder. These activities are great when you cannot get the work out in.
Monday looked like it was gonna pour rain at any moment. However, I managed to beat the storm and saddled Gabe for a great ride! We worked in the slow twist copper mouth snaffle. Mainly, we worked on keeping our shoulder up in circles and a good solid stop and reverse. Gabe showed me remarkable flexion and great control of movement. Due to the mud, we did not attempt any tight turns with more than a slow trot. However, we did work on approaching the barrel with bend and turning with the shoulder lifted. I was very pleased with our ride on Monday. :)
