Working on Subtle “Outside”
the Arena: The lesson today was two-fold in nature.
The first focus was to touch base again on our gal’s round
pen skills with a focus on making the conversation quiet and getting her
listening and thinking. This went really well and she showed a really nice
understanding of what was asked of her. So much of her past before “our time”
was all hurry up and GO! We want our horses to be able to GO and WHOA
comfortably and confidently without agitation. Annie is finding that zone and
doing great!
The second focus was to play outside the arena on the
recently updated trail/obstacle course at our place. She did really well on all
the terrain and obstacles. We worked on the ground (we have a Body Language/
Obstacle Workshop at our place this weekend) first to make sure we had
everything laid out well with room for the humans to move around. Annie did
great! Under saddle was about the same and she seemed to enjoy the experience.
It is a BUSY horsemanship weekend and we are pretty jazzed
to see how our gal handles all the excitement! Stay tuned for more updates!
hanging out, looking FIT!
