Considering selling my horse, what'd U do?

Here's the trainer riding him. He's being stubborn because I showed up, typical for him, lol.

Removed the video. Didn't realize they didn't like videos taken there to be shared. Oppsies.

Got my hippo and almost home!

Got to ride one of their horses and practiced some on her. Super fun because she's so responsive and only needs a light touch. Side pass, spin, roll back for turns, etc. Hopefully, my hippo will be able to dothe same one day.
He meshed back in like he never left.

Do I have a training thread for him here? I think I'll use this one for that.

A tight 800, on the 800+ side of the mark.

He's terribly slow to react to lunging...Tired myself out with trying to keep him going! =/

Got him a bit, french link snaffle, need to adjust it some more, since it hangs a little low.

New girth also came in, but they still try to ride up forward as much as possible. =/ Darn his ridiculous shape!

Yesterday and today, I splashed him with water from the trough, he's not minding it much. Sucks the hose water is a nasty 55-65F! Cold! =0

Copying from my FB, so sorry for repeat info.
Gelding got a new bit, Mad Tack in Madison had one in stock! A french link snaffle. It needs to go up a hole.
He also got his new girth today, a Total saddle fit, but his gut seems to still shove it too forward. =/
He's so gosh darn slow to move out when lunging! Really have to get after him....Hoping he can get back to responding quicker soon. Wanting to add riding at a walk next week to his exercise program, then trotting the following week.
Oh, yesterday and today, I splashed trough water on his chest, legs and back/sides. Yesterday he was a touch off about it, but then chilled out. The hose water is a chilly 55-65, so I know he'll balk at that! I sure would! But the minis did great the other week,so hopefully he will as well.

So glad to have him home, it was weird not having him around.

He's listening much better this morning.
Did a quick 10min practice, will do his regular exercise later tonight.

Too many biting flies, so did something else. Site won't work for me right, so just 2 pics from yesterday.

 

[secuono]

Working now.

This one made him look like a miniature, lol.

I don't know horses, but either you're very tall or he's pretty short... He doesn't look like a large horse The ones I've been around all seemed to have their heads up above mine and I'm ~5'10"... He's sure pretty though.

Lol, he is 13 or 13.2h
I measured him at 13.2 last year, but when I was measuring his roundness, I decided to measure the minis to see if they grew any, (completely forgot what those were because of....---> ) Measured him as well so he wasn't left out, lol, but it said 13h!! =/
I must of done it wrong before or have a magical shrinking horse! =0
I'm 5'6"
