I took my DWB Branco to a bitting clinic with Dale Myler last month. Branco has unusually fleshy bars and a long standing hind lameness issue which has meant he's learnt to carry himself incorrectly to avoid the pain in his hind legs.He now needs to build up the correct muscles to support his hind joints which means working him from behind and on the bit, which I've found virtually impossible to do without getting in a battle! After a couple of hours with Dale and a change of bit together with a different approach to riding, Branco was going in a beautiful outline and working correctly. Liz Stoppard couldn't believe the difference! The before and after shots where amazing. I've now bought the bit (at great expense I might add!.......) and it's work in progress. I'm now hoping my hours of riding will be more productive and I will start to see a physical difference in Branco.
The TROT - Sunday 5th April was a great success. Around 30 horses turned up, it was quite a sight! It was a lovely warm day and the horses really enjoyed themselves. Hopefully they will have raised a lot of money for Cancer Research.
Happy riding,
Jane
