Ally's Wellpride Journey; In short, WE LOVE
FISH! - 4th installmentOkay, here is an update on Ally and how she is doing. In short, WE LOVE
FISH! She went to her first recognized event on Sunday and was great.
We rode after the torrential downpours came through so the dressage ring
looked like a swimming pool and she HATES puddles (in the ring). Our test
wasn't perfect but for the ride she gave me, it was decent test.
Her focus in all 3 phases was awesome and what was even more impressive was
her attitude and how she acted while at the trailer.My husband, non horsey, was my only help that day and he is a little nervous
around her because she can be so "up". Well, he was holding her, walking
her, and just being with her without fearing for his life.
She wasn't screaming for other horses or acting "marish" at all! She stood
at the stadium warm up like she was watching everyone go and studying the
course. A few months ago, she would have been pacing and screaming for any
horse to answer. It felt like a different horse. I even looked down once
or twice to make sure I had the right horse! She hung out on the trailer by
herself munching on her hay between rides like never before. I should say
ever. She used to have to be held all the time, not able to tie to the
trailer much less stand on there contently for an extended period of time.While Wellpride (fish oil) has not made her happy with puddles (synchronized
swimming will not be her second career), what it has done in her general
attitude, mental focus, coat, and hoof growth/ strength has made us
customers for life. I can't wait to see what being on the product for a
year will do for her. Thanks!
