Secret Taboo: She does not set her neck. Curiously this and the release of the jaw were no problems at all last season. Is it that our new participant did not call on it, or is it the winter break. In any rate, its good for this year's research. She also now keeps her head dropped left hand and twists her entire neck right hand. The plus, she trots regularly, as long as nothing disturbs her, the hind legs stepping forward towards the center of weight in an okay cyclical movement. As before, the left legs has difficulty to laterally step the center of weight, the right hind legs steps laterally past the center of weight. She was eager and well behaved as usual, yet a little apprehensive of what I might demand of her. Small improvements in the setting and lateral giving of the neck.
Fabian: At age 12 and being familiar with the second gear, profits more from a few rounds of brisk in-hand-walking in the shoulder-fore than from lunging. And it wakes me up. Under saddle he is perfectly instructed, yet weak. We did walk in shoulder-fore right and half shoulder-in left, until he brought up his neck and stabilised his back. Rising trot was easier right hand. Left hand he offered a kind of overbending, which felt good. After that a deep stretching and turning of the entire neck. In the walk I incorporated 6m voltes, done on turning my head only; in the trot we worked towars the big eight. No sitting trot, flat serpentines, canter-strike-offs or turns-around-the haunches as yet. He spends the night in the paddock, no hay, no straw. I gave him carrots and started him on grain. He must loose his big belly.
Fallada: After big excitement yesterday!? today in the small school back to normal. Changes of left and right hand, walk and trot. Turns-around-the-shoulders. Strike-offs in the canter left and right. Walking her off and on on small circles left and right hand finally brough a lateral release of the poll. Still no true release of the jaw. She is a litte uneven and shakes her entire body left hand, she pushes her neck down suddenly right hand.
All three horse's symptoms are typical for start-up. They usually disappear after a few times and require no other treatment than continuation.
