Skjoni was ground driven here because when he arrived he was nervous about
things behind him and it is how we start and restart all horses that come

She used this same

Hi Judy
I use the strap only now and then to make the horse more aware of his
backpart. It is a very flexible bandage and it helps the horse 'feel' his

this.

horses which have pace usually have softer canters than those that don't.
The canter is often
4-beat and lacking in suspension, but very nice to sit on - same as heir
