Please can you help with a difficult decision,,,
because of of my dodgy hips, I have little leg strength, and Mills is starting to realise this, and is not as forward as she was, I have been using my whip, just a small tap to reinforce my leg, but this does not seem to be working, she is getting further and further behind the bit and taking advantage of me.
Today I got in to a situation where i really had to use the whip to move her along when she had stopped and we were in a dangerous place, I did not really like to do this, but she really did listen to my leg on the way home..
do you think some spurs would help,,?? have never used these, just thinking of what is best for Mills, sorry if a bit long,,don,t really want to use the whip with force if a nudge with spurs would do the trick, I know how fast she CAN walk and how on the bit she can be,,,,
help and advice please
