Jack - He's Bare Footin'!

We pulled Jack's shoes on Friday. With the busy weekend, he was allowed to just relax "feel the grass between his toes"; today, Monday, was his first day under saddle with no shoes, and what a difference!!! OMG!! He's picking up his feet and moving forward!!



Obviously, low on the training tree; we're just beginning to work on moving forward with steady rhythm, and he looks good. Amanda, who is riding him, noticed the difference immediately. Last week he was sluggish, not moving forward or picking up his feet. And you could hear the "clink" as his back shoes hit against each other with each step forward.

Another variable that could be effecting his performance is, we just started (Saturday, May 23, 2009) supplementing him with Red Cell.
