What a difference a weekend makes! I go from having 2 horses that I'm basically doing nothing with to having 2 horses that need jobs. Yesterday Margaret showed me some stifle building exercises for Megan. She'll do them with her 2x during the week and then I'll do them both days on the weekend. We also agreed that Lily needs a job, too.
Next weekend we'll hop on Megan (for the first time since early August) and see if we can do the exercises from her back which will be better for her and far more fun for me. We're going to disregard the lameness as emblematic of her hind end weakness and work her at the walk on the hill and over cavaletti very gently to build strength and then see what happens with the lameness.
Lily will get fitted out for her very own bridle and will start more regular ground work in preparation for getting on her in the future. Fun, fun, fun!
