How about an update on the updated update?
Long lined and rode today and she was FINE. Totally back to where she was two weeks ago, as if the last two weeks didn't even happen. :huh: Her buyers coincidentally told me (after I rode) that they couldn't take her till May 01. I said, well, give me till then and we'll see.
Sure enough.. turns out a lot of little 'incidences' occured at the barn while I was off sick. Not least of which, she was overfed about 10x. Yeah.. I guess that'll do it to a horse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took away all her grain (so noone else could feed her!)
Had chiro to her back and I think that may have been the pinching I thought was there.
Changed bits to lighter weight, changed long lines to more weight. Bought interim bit untill $$ Sprenger gets here.
Switched saddle back to old saddle, which is a better flatting balance for me.
Rode with 10000000000 horses and a stallion going nuts. Figure maybe she was just bored before :lol:
Let her go forward like a nutter before we had really any control, but I figure, why bother controlling a horse when the idiot boarders will ride in front of you at the best of times anyway (and they were). Notably, she was still more in control than the one ring menace.

What an insane roller coaster. :psycho:
I hope I get to keep her though, she is nice, and I think has alot more potential than the gelding (cute as he is). Plus I HATE horse shopping.
