I ALWAYS let him have his head to cough; Julie thinks he might be "acting" just to get his head but I'm sure he is not. Can't fake that phlegmy sound! Last night I let him warm up in walk and trot without side reins, but he was wearing them when he was cantering.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650503331857488880.post-58050295949938147602016-12-29T05:36:45.217-08:002016-12-29T05:36:45.217-08:00Interesting.

I know he's going to do it so I just ask for trot, go about 10 yards, let him stop to cough a couple times and then it's over and no more coughing. Wondering if you let Lance warm up without side reins if that would help?thecrazysheepladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835269631172344336noreply@blogger.com
