Sounds like fun. I aspire to that that with Bjorn. I have to ask,
can your boy canter, and if so, is his canter collected? ... Now I
am stiitng with a seperated shoulder, and mad at the fact that I may
loose all the progress I had been making on him.
Ick - sorry to hear about your shoulder! Did it actually dislocate?
I've have a kneecap that used to dislocate and it was awful.
Finne does not canter under saddle yet. He does it beautifully on
his own in the fields.
We tried starting him on the lunge line, but did not stick with it
long as it was hard to keep him on the circle.
My trainer takes it very slow and really doesn't want to work on canter yet.
I have a friend, whose opinion I trust, that thinks that it is wrong
to wait, especially since canter is not their preferred gait. She
says also it would be better for my trainer to work on cantering
under saddle before he might break into it with me and freak out
because he hadn't done that under saddle.
Anyone have feedback for me on when to start the canter training.
Finne has been under saddle and in training for nine months.
