More with Less…Again:
Well, today was a tough lesson for our heroine! She was done with the lesson about
2/3 of the way through. She had to check her attitude at the gate and get
through that mental reset to get to the good. She did LOTS of loping, direction
changes, roll backs and more today. That was not the original plan but some
days you work with what you got.
Once the thinking side of her brain came online and the “my
way” attitude got put away we got some really nice work done. Good walk/trot
transitions, nice effort at the lope (it is still her weak point which means
MORE LOPING is in her future), nice serpentine work and “Susan Circles” under
saddle. We ended with a thinking and willing horse! WIN! We were able to add to
her “sale video” today and even though the music file was thwarting our efforts
we posted it on line!

She got a good rinse off when we got home and got to relax
on the “Tree of Knowledge” for about an hour.
Tomorrow everyone gets the day off so Laurie and I can
attend the Western States Horse Expo. Sunday we’ll be at Pioneer Park Arena
again to see if today’s lesson has sunk in.
Stay tuned!
