At first I concentrated on the walk and he was fine. No head tossing so he may be passed it during walk as he hasn't done it in a while. Then in trot it started. I have such a hard time keeping my balance on Teddy that I am getting very frustrated. He just constantly tosses his head or stretches his head down. My instructor advised me to ignore his head but he pulls down so strongly that it pitches me forward more often than not. I watched back the video and my position could be better but when it is good it still happens. It's almost depressing for me because I don't know what to do and I feel like we aren't getting anywhere.
As a Christmas gift I got a tub of Sootha Nerves & Stress Supplement for horses. It is meant to be a high dose B group vitamin, magnesium and hyptophan supplement with probiotics for highly strung and stressed horses. I haven't thought much about it since I got it but maybe I should try it. I don't know of anyone that uses it so I will work Teddy every day this week and see if he improves and if he doesn't I'll give it a go. In the meantime I will do some research on it.
If anyone reading this has any views on Sootha please let me know.
Thanks
