so cold, but.. did in hand work. alternating raised poles. single raised pole. pillar work. zero tolerance on eating reins.
then got on with bitless bareback. no pad. wasn't expecting to get on. no helmet either. walked around and did poles again. played with steering. better than with bosal. Or just better in general today? trotted but sluggish and not really wanting to stay in trot. sore feet? ground hard and semi frozen. sore left hind? got better at the end and did some figure 8 serpentines down whole arena.. definitely easier to change directions than in bosal. but seemed maybe like he wanted to duck behind the vertical. lack of release? or just.. coincidence. pain from left hind or stifle?
tried to side pass in hand after. decent going to the left but much unhappier going to the right. did get it and reward.
removed bandage and shockwaved. Won't ktape yet because of lube. will try thursday
