It was a very windy day and rain showers were coming through frequently. I had received my Therafoam shims and was anxious to try them out.
I removed the felt ones and placed the center and right shoulder pads in. We went into the playpen and Buzz was most of the time LBI but his energy was up due to the strong winds. We have been playing a lot of the touch it game and as i was getting my camera ready to photograph the saddle he decided to play the touch it game with the mounting block. Clever horse.
As we are still working on getting a calm relaxed dismount this was my main focus i only rode of a few minutes. I have to say the strong winds worried me especially when he spooked at some white netting that flew past. But all was well and we spent a few minutes on fig.8 and weave.
The dismount is getting better all the time. After i removed the saddle there where some ruffled hairs on his left shoulder which may have been caused by me shimming the right shoulder. So i will removed the Therafoam shim and replace it with the thin felt pad.
