Laura Bechtolsheimer's fabulous 5 year old home bred, Teddy, is a giant! At over 18 hands, his progress has been slowed a little by having to have time off to finish growing! Teddy is very responsive and has a lot of lift and spring to his paces plus a ground-eating canter. Laura says, "riding Teddy is like trying to steer the Titanic through a slalom course!" The aim of the session is balance, also straightness and improving Teddy's general athleticism. Because he is talented in the collected work and he likes to work in a grown-up outline, Laura says she has be be careful not to take advantage of what Teddy is offering, so frequent stretch breaks are necessary.
