What about the number of steps through walk? I've always tried to make it happen ASAP, but I've watched several riders who linger in it much longer than I did.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-55492653949248922062016-03-14T14:49:57.630-04:002016-03-14T14:49:57.630-04:00Well this was my review of it 4 days in, so I migh...Well this was my review of it 4 days in, so I might revisit in a couple weeks to make sure this is still my review, haha. He was sooo cozy in his hay pile! And he's found his inner "badass" because the pony kept trying to eat the hay from around Penn, but he'd pin his ears and that was enough to chase the pony away, hahaha. I felt bad bothering him, but that was some nice hay that's better off in a belly that smashed into the wet ground!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-66534400990611772382016-03-14T14:27:59.021-04:002016-03-14T14:27:59.021-04:00Hmmm, I have never tried the Quiessence, might hav...Hmmm, I have never tried the Quiessence, might have to look into that for the Baconator.

I'd say do at least 3 no matter what, up to 5 or 6 is okay. After that you run the risk of getting called out on it, but like you said, more steps with relaxation and throughness > less steps with tension or an error.

Th...I'm impressed that it worked that fast too! Though from what I've seen of other supplements, if you don't notice a difference in the first week or two, you're not going to.<br /><br />I feel similarly about giving it to Penn- I don't need the help while riding him, I'm happy to manage that on my own. But he gets anxious whenever he doesn't know what he should be doing and paces (why else would he be uppity on the ground and literally sigh when I get on and put him to work? I've had the same nervous reaction when he doesn't understand under saddle too). There's no reason he needs to be nervous, so I want to try to nip it in the bud before he gets a complex!<br /><br />That's probably a good number of steps- 1 is probably exceptional, 3 is good. But like you, I think a good change with too many steps is better than a crappy change (or not changing at all, which is my risk right now).Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-26107492784069307382016-03-14T10:24:55.547-04:002016-03-14T10:24:55.547-04:00I think it might take the nerves out of your guy a...I think it might take the nerves out of your guy and let him be more open to learning! Dover has the wee 5 lb bag that you should be able to get a month out of for $25 or so. Smartpak doesn't have that one, but you can get it for a decent price in Smartpaks.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-26568548565031240122016-03-14T09:57:59.784-04:002016-03-14T09:57:59.784-04:00Wow.

He's not crazy, and nothing he throws at me isn't handle-able, but I think for his own mental well being some calming assistance when I need to put pressure on is just a good idea.<br /><br />From my experience with the canter-trot-canter change, I think you're okay up to 3 steps. More than that and they start hitting you pretty hard. That said, I'd rather take the hit from taking too long than take a hit from a crappy transition.Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-51968484051871894152016-03-14T09:51:29.151-04:002016-03-14T09:51:29.151-04:00Wow that was really fast acting.
