My boy Saint hits him self on the inside of his
leg. The thing is he doesn't do it when people are looking, and I truly
believe its just because he doesn't pay attention were his own legs are. He does
this at all gaits, but more at the trot when he seems very bored. I ride
him with boots on and he doesn't hit hard enough to do damage, but if I ride
with out the boots he removes a layer of skin were he hits. As for it I really
do not know what to do with him. So I just keep the boots on him when ever
I ride, taking them off periodically and massage the leg to ensure blood
flow. My main question is will this get me pulled? (I'm planning on going
in Oak leaf run)
I have been doing many exercises such as
serpentines, and he is in the best shape of any horse I own. And when he is
trying he out walks my boss's gaited horses, and he doesn't hit. But when
he's bored he is Sooo slow and hits.
I hope this made sense, any suggestion
welcome,
Alley
