Training

#17
8/2--see last vid.
8/3--rained. Riderless fast work in 12 acre field. Horses into it.  #17 flashes best speed to date and also slipped and fell sliding about 10 yards maybe just to remind why we avoid tack work on wet grass..  Owner heart palpitations--this was a hard hard fall at full speed-- as horse lay there a few seconds before rising and leading the next gallop without signs of injury.
8/4   Totally devoid of energy in today's tack work after yesterday's voluminous speed work--mostly trot this day. Horse both refuses left lead at trot and gallop and gets feisty and dangerous when attempt to force it.  Never had a horse refuse left diagonal trotting.  What's going on as he's on left riderless all the time. Problem specific exercises planned.
#148 is now walk-trotting over the whole area if yet to do the whole course.  Misbehavior problems seem  behind us, knocking on wood.
