My boy Saint hits him self on the inside of his leg. The thing
is he doesn't do it when people are looking, and I truly believe its just
because he doesn't pay attention were his own legs are. He does this at all
gaits, but more at the trot when he seems very bored. I ride him with
boots on and he doesn't hit hard enough to do damage, but if I ride with out the
boots he removes a layer of skin were he hits. As for it I really do not know
what to do with him. So I just keep the boots on him when ever I ride,
taking them off periodically and massage the leg to ensure blood flow. My
main question is will this get me pulled? (I'm planning on going in Oak leaf
run)
I have been doing many exercises such as serpentines, and he is in
the best shape of any horse I own. And when he is trying he out walks my boss's
gaited horses, and he doesn't hit. But when he's bored he is Sooo slow and
hits.
I hope this made sense, any suggestion welcome,
Alley
