Equipoise

Part 5: By late Aug - early Sept’ Skip was feeling good (for a semi retired 22 year old with OA) riding with great energy and able to do a few lessons. We rode the most connected we’ve ever been. Even lopping, controlled, in lessons with no reins! (Any of you that remember young Skip know that was a pretty big accomplishment.)
At the beginning of Oct when we noticed Skip was having trouble engaging his hind end we took it as another area for the two of us to put in some work. As he’s been such a great athletic horse I had no problem putting in some time to help him rebuild his hind end muscles.
