I went back and looked at the video again and sure enough I am collapsing with my inside shoulder. Hopefully, I won't have to apply a strong leg aid for much longer and I won't collapse so much. Winston is a pretty quick learner. So I need to weight my outside seat bone, keep my eyes up - and not collapse to the inside. Piece of cake.

Harley's feet look great. I'd never be able to do all that you do with seven horses. Thank goodness I love my farrier. <br /><br />Just wondering how Harley is doing on his Cough Free treatments. My daughter tried it on Nate who has the same problems as Harley and it didn't work for him. I sent her your posts and she's going to give it a try again.
