Thomas and Joey score a 9!
After 7 weeks Joey has now gone home with his mum. We worked out a strategy to help Joey develop. He is quite a complex character who is easily stressed if his environments routine is not kept to. That is not to say that things cant change, but it is how the change day to day is monitored at this stage. Joey also has some physical issues which means that he must be developed carefully. He has a capped hock and a possible minor tendon sheath issue. That said, he is a willing chap under saddle and has progressed nicely in his time with us.
Thomas and Joey had a go at Joeys first dressage test with us, Dressage Anywhere, Intro A. They scored 65.22% and also a 9 for some of their trot work!
