Thanks for pointing that out! I just received an warmblood/oversized one for my birthday this weekend, so the new one fits him much better

Awww thanks! I can't wait either. Theres a facility that has shows right down the road from the barn and I've walked him down there. He always pricks his ears up and seems very interested. Maybe he's excited to show again too

wow. I applaud you. The first thing I noticed about the riding pictures is that he's no longer putting his feet down toe first. That's great.

aww, what a handsome boy, You've done a great job with him! He looks like a sweetie too

Thank you sooo much! I had the best lesson today. We were doing a few teeny jumps and he surprised the heck out of me today with the most amazingly smooth automatic lead changes. I was getting ready to ask him for a simple change after a jump as we were coming into a corner and he changed all on his own.

He actually did this a few times and I was just so darn excited!

I got a couple Back on Track products - the hock wraps and the quick wraps and last night was the first night I left them on all night. The product instructions say to build up the time you leave them on for, so last night was the first time they were on for 8 hours. He was moving better then ever today!!!

Here's a couple pictures from today. Last week's pictures were in the dark and I don't feel like they do his handsome self justice.

Oh wow! He does look to be landing toe first in the first riding picture!

Humphrey is my favorite. He's doing so nicely...putting on a little muscle and weight and starting to shine like a copper penny. Keep up the good work.
