Tru-D arbeitet und Jasper sieht gut aus Charm-Ns Zaum
I had time Thursday afternoon to harness Tru-D up and work her a bit. She did much better this time, especially standing still to be hooked. I think it is a matter of habit and just doing it more.
I swapped to the car tire. Last time with the small tractor tire it seemed like a little much so we didn't work long. I added a couple blocks to the car tire and I might add a couple more to keep it from bouncing when she trots.
I rode her the following morning and demoed the turn on the forehand and a little leg yield for the lesson, which she did quite well deapite being the first time I really asked for a leg yield from her.
Jasper's torment continues. I contacted Lisa at Moss Rock Endurance about making Jasper a training bridle that will grow with him. She is once again being fantastic and I just needed to get the starting measurements for her to go off of.
I used Charm-N's bridle and threw it straight on him.
He was unamused.
I was surprised how well the crown and brow fit him already.
I guess technically I could use Charm-N's bridle, but I hate adjusting things and I'm using him as an excuse to try out the Star Wheel. I shortened the cheeks and throatlatch, but had to let the nose out a hole. I was surprised! Charm-N has a big old snoz.
For chuckles and giggles (and because I needed the measurement) I shortened the cheeks one more and put the Star Wheel on.
I love how versatile these bridles are. Technically it's designed to carry a bit where I attached the Star Wheel, but you can throw a hackamore there too if you don't mind the double noseband.
I took the crown (ring to ring over the poll), throat, and cheek measurements directly from the bridle and an inch smaller on the brow. She is giving me a crazy good deal on the bridle because I have given her a bunch of referrals and this will be my ninth bridle from her myself.
