Rode at home... the girls were in the dog pen pasture, so Dan was upset... because he couldn't really see them. Tried hard but was a bit more up and a little braced in his back. tongue came out towards the end. suspect more emotional stress/anxiety than pain, but... was also a bit sore at the end of ride. Fatigued? Was holding right hind down this weekend but today back to toe touching resting it. but did have some good haunches in and shoulders in and even some good half pass, even at the trot, even the harder way. So small improvements. Did the trot poles. Did a tiny canter test... left lead not bad. right still struggly but maybe not as bad.
did try to go get the girls to come follow him back to arena half way through ride and was able to get lyric but not funny. still not a happy camper.
after bath and rest... adjusted him. shockwaved stifle again, but also right shoulder and both shoulder girdles and neck. Got good yawns and releases with right side but a little bit on left too.
