The Howie Chronicles

Recurring theme. All I need is a lawn ornament and occasional trail ride. Wrong answer. Howie just keeps getting better and better. I knew he would be a late bloomer. I know Morgans take awhile to mature and all you had to do was look at Howie and you saw a lanky, undeveloped youngster. Well, he is finally, maybe, just beginning to mature, a little. He's nowhere near finished, but there are glimpses of a mature horse here and there. I was fortunate enough to be able to reconnect with my former horseshoer. I love the guy. He's great. And he was very, very kind and helpful the day I had to take my old horse to the clinic for the last time. Anyway, Lee fixed Howie up just a smidge different, and with the rubber footing in the new indoor, wow, he would make any dressage fan stop and take notice. He is stepping well up underneath himself and starting to create some nice impulsion. And the biggest difference, he is able to hold his canter better without falling apart. Yes, now we're getting somewhere.
