Ok, so it seems I spoke too soon about the magnesium supplement helping the mare calm down. Here is a little snippet of one of her finer moments yesterday:



I hope she learned her lesson after the trip. She was very much on her forehand in that canter, and it finally caught up with her.

Speaking of her canter, it has become much more balanced the past few weeks. I know it doesn't look that different on the video, but she is holding herself up now, as opposed to relying on impulsion, as she did in the past. She is also starting to gain a lot more muscle on her hind legs.

I have no idea what sparked the large spook. I think it was just sheer mareness.
