I just got back from my lesson… The trainer thinks it is due to him being sore, and believes its good for him to be moving out like that instead of doing that slow western lope because he doesn’t have the muscle built up. Once he has the muscle strength, we will work on slowing it down.
My horse also moved pastures, and I think that may have helped. He is in a bigger pasture now, and has found a buddy that will play with him and get energy out. He doesn’t seem too attached to the new buddy though, which is good!
Also, I have ordered supplements for my gelding. I think that will make a big difference as well…
I’m glad the problem is being solved, and thanks everyone for your advice!
