Where do I start? I had such a rough few weeks. Beginning of May I started with exams, and finished on Thursday. Between studying, I had a crazy horse to work with.
I do not know what got into Mythical Music two weeks back. He started running like crazy and was basically unrideable. My coach and I discussed to have the saddle-fitters or a specialised dentist out or to try a different bit. While we considered our options, I continuously tried to ride him and almost every time ended up lunging him until it came to the point that we decided to try a different bit, a Portuguese Bum. I used my coaches daughter’s bit to test it, and for the first time, M&M actually considered coming down on the bit. At first, we had to fight with M&M, but later on, I felt how to get him on the bit. He did not even think about doing something unexpected. He went through phases. I think I am winning the battle at last.
For once I think I am winning the battle.
