Lynn Morrison So I looked into this and it’s main ingredient is Bentonite which I am familiar with as I used to work in the clay industry and it has many useful applications in animal feeds, medicines and other things so I can see why it will work as an inhibitor and also mood changer, might give it a whirl on a couple of mine who have ulcers and girth hesitancy 

Lynn Morrison Sounds just like any typical mare you come across in the UK!!

On a serious note I do find that lots of factors affect horses just like humans I suppose, weather, humidity, rainfall, wind, how long they have been in, other horses around them in season etc

No two days are the same with ours and the younger they are the less predictable they are! 

So what is the medicine?, interesting read and glad to see you are making progress 

Thanks Lucas Truax I was super proud of her having rode English for 40 years it has taken a lot of effort, trust and self discipline for her to drop the reins and trust the horse, super proud of Flicker also, she keeps on amazing us and going strong when most horses would be gone or retired at her age, no doubt in a few months she will be swimming in the sea again 

Terrible to start with from the ground but good from the saddle bizarrely, think she wants to be an Indian now!

Well the operation sort of went well, the 2 wolf teeth (1 blind growing outwards) were removed and then the vet found another 2 on the bottom jaw which is a very rare occurrence apparently, all removed and apparently healing time is a week before the bit can go back in and work can continue 

Nice job 👍 

Mckenna Merrill decently know what you mean, when I’m working the yearling, rising 3, rising 4 then maybe my 15 year old one after another it’s so hard to not think some of them are not progressing when in fact they are but at their own pace, stepping back and analysing the sessions when travelling home helps me put it all into perspective.

That’s brilliant to hear and great job, I look forward to hearing about your progress and I’m sure Richard Boatwright will be delighted to read this and will be able to help further
