Bad news first- I have tried many ways on many days to get the pic's to load in a way that everyone can see them. It doesn't seem like blogger wants to cooperate. I have tried uploading them, copy and pasting them from email and just about every other thing I can think of and it's not happening. Blogger shows them being saved in the folder on this blog, but getting them to show up? Doesn't seem to work. If I have my email open and the blog open at the same time? Waa-laa. I have pic's in the post, pic's in the preview and as soon as I close one or the other- POOF! *sigh*
In the good news- My WB mare is doing wonderfully. Even when working her loose, she is striding out, overstepping at the walk and when we are done- her butt is sweaty, just like everything else. Remember, the muscles that work are the ones that will sweat. So she's still making progress on her own, even without me up there. She is also rolling into a canter now instead of popping her front end up and leaping into it. She has learned to relax and ease into it, maintaining a comfortable gait, rather than charging forward with the boldness of a bull in a china shop. One of these days we will get there and try it under saddle. I'm betting it will be an adventure for both of us.
Another thing I noticed though is that her right hind doesn't come as far up under her as the left hind does. They should be moving equal or close to it, yet no matter which direction she travels, there's a bit of a shortness in her stride on that side. I have worked on her using some of the bodywork techniques I know of and she does have a few knots in her backend and it is part of the issue. I know my neck, shoulders, back and glutes have been knotted up for some time and when I finally found someone who could actually get everything to release- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... It's amazing not having to deal with the tenseness, stiffness and pain on a daily basis. I am going to have to call in someone I know and have her work on my mare to bring her some relief as well.

Are you using a Blogger template? Maybe try a different one and see if it agrees with posting photos better. I view your site in Google Chrome, and there are some overlapping words in the side bar. Also, I know at some point Blogger started charging me an annual amount to post and store photos. You only get so many for free and then they won't let you upload anymore.
ReplyDeletethe bodywork might be just the key to getting her going to the next level, a sore achy butt is no fun for anyone. I wish I know what to suggest with the photos, other than have you tried loading them through Piccassa?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your girls! I believe they are 8 now. Old enough for an addiction to horse fiction. What was your favorite? I was a Black Stallion girl all the way.
ReplyDeleteThey can't be 8 can they?
ReplyDeleteCould be 7.
ReplyDeleteKaede- please don't rush things.... lol None of us want to get too old, too fast. They just turned 6. Yes they certainly are growing up and although they may not read on their own yet, they can always be read to.
ReplyDeleteOh, my! Just 6. I got my years mixed up. I remembered they were born during a presidential election year, I guess I wanted this year to be a presidential election year. As a school librarian, I can send you list upon list of horse book recommendations.
