so the plans atm @Shaz51@Queenie@Former-Member@Former-Member@Former-Member
is to firstly get her a good feeding shedule which i figured out last night which feeds to feed her how much etc etc so hopefully that getll her feeling good again
i will also be getting her teeth and hooves done withing the next few weeks
ill be treating the itch/rainscald looking thing untill fully healed whihc now that ive washed her in treated washes twice and from here itll be every hot day until the bottle runs out. ive also brought her a treated lotion that soothes any itch as well as mositurises the skin.
while getting treated, getting feeds right, and getting the general care stuff like teeth and feet done, ill be continuing the ground work with trust building exercises as well as getting fitness levels better.
does anyone know any good trust building exercises?
so far ive done and still do
- Join Up
- brushing
- taking her for walks just like a puppy dog
- lunging
- trot poles and teaching her those
- lots and lots of pats and hugs etc
ideas to do with her are:
- yoga balls
- tarps
- walking through water
thats all atm that i can think of so feel free to throw in other suggestions there as well
im hopinh within the next 2 months i can start back up the the ground and get her comfotable with the bridle. the saddle, and exercise boots only one at a time to start with and then two things together then all of it together.
then hopefully within another 2-3 months of doing those things depending on her progress ill attempt to get on and then go from there
