More on Koffee

Coffee has been doing great! He is now being used more frequently in our practices even though it is towards the end of the year. Oh, it is so sad that it is the end of the year and that we are losing seven amazing girls, but I wish them luck with their futures. You guys will accomplish everything.

Back to Koffee. Since he is now being ridden more, we are doing more to make sure he stays sound. That means we are putting him on the Theraplate at the barn before or after every ride. We place Koffee on the Theraplate for 10 minutes to help with his navicular in his hind legs. The Theraplate helps increase circulation, decreases lameness, pain relief and also improves joint health and function. If you are interested in a Theraplate for your horse(s), click here.

Koffee doesn't mind the Theraplate as long as he can eat something, something means hay.

This guy is so photogenic, I love it. All these photos are taken on my phone through the camera or my SnapChat. 

We mainly worked on trotting, getting his neck to stretch and we worked on a little canter work. He enjoys being able to stretch his neck down and out, this resulted in a smooth trot. He seemed good cantering to the left, but to the right he was a bit stiff and kept throwing his head to he outside. During that, I had to consistently half halt his head to the inside, which resulted in the canter becoming a bit smoother. He likes go to the left as opposed to the right. We all have our preferred direction/hand.

He was so happy to be working more though. I enjoy riding him because of his love for work. He is a great boy and sometimes I wish he was an actual guy. He would be the golden boyfriend. Koffee is tall, handsome, a sweetie and a ladies man. But he loves to work and he works hard. Maybe that's why we girls love horses so much? We call them our boyfriend.
