We had a lesson this morning with Susan. It felt so good to get back into riding dressage! Final is doing well, he's still a little sore & protective in his hind end, but continuing to improve. The trot is a little shakey. He feels good at moments and then it feels like he catches himself a little in his hind end, and then tries to balance himself on the reins, which makes him heavy of course. But we didn't want to push it too much since he's obviously still recovering. The canter felt very nice.
I think the acupuncture made a big difference for him. It's expensive, but worth it! His muscles are much looser and more supple when I'm grooming him and when we're riding.
So far so good. Can't wait to get back to the training we left off from!
