6 min - Final Thoughts With Demonstrations
My final thoughts whilst demonstrating progressive inhand work over the years with my compromised gelding. He has PSSM1,MIM,RER,COPD. Poor conformation as a result there's been alot of compromise/tension patterns. He also has arthritic hocks, stifles and elbows but the diagnosis hasn't held him back and I truly believe inhand and classical work has helped him stay sound.
