Danny was due for his shockwave today, but I didn't do it.
Got his feet done. Put him back in shoes behind with pour ins to help stimulate the toe support and help with him twisting out of them.
silly boy later.. followed me and lyric to the arena and then followed us back. Splashed in the trough. clearly wanted to play
rode him. And... i'm the worst... did walk with lateral work at the walk but he was chompy and fussy. then did trot to halt 15 times each way. super fussy tracking left. then did some work at the walk with contact. tongue came out. especially with turn on the haunches and half pass, shoulder in. Sigh... come on dude... then it was tongue out all the time with slight slight contact and he kept going behind the vertical. I got mad... smacked his face.. yanked the bit around in his mouth (it's rubber, but still). Ugh... tried to find a good note to end on. then went on a hack... still stuck his tongue out. UGHHH...
what is wrong? Why are you broken? Why can't I just accept it and move on.... I just... don't want to give up on you buddy. sigh...
i can't even... i just..... i don't even know....
sigh... i'm sorry buddy... i'm so sorry... for all of it.
holly, this is public.... i'm so sorry that you're dealing with the frustration of an unsound horse. consider what you publish about smacking his face tho.
