Finally made it outside with Emily
One last ride before she goes home next week
We did lots of trail riding, obstacles and other training, but not so much ring work
Wish I could have gotten her to break loose and move forward rather than sucking back during this time
Last session before she goes home tomorrow
Looking forward to seeing her next summer
We won't get hooked to the cart in this short month of driving, but she's doing well.
Sweet, little, sensitive girl is learning to trust and work thru stuff. Blinders make that even harder
The whoa is very important in my driving training. We worked on that a lot today
Look who learned to trot in hand today in the barn aisle.
Little too slippery to try it outside though
Had some liberty fun with Rhianna.
It was very hard for her to focus though cuz Dillon had just walked in the door over there
She really wanted to investigate him instead of pay attention to me, but she did it
Last lesson before she goes home tomorrow
We'll touch base at home on Saturday, weather permitting to fit the new saddle pad and do a short session at home
Today, Vera reluctantly loaded up a few times. Quite the stubborn streak today!!
But once she did it willingly, I gave her a hay bag, tied her up and closed the door while I worked the next horse
Well someone certainly was not ready for any part of the mounting process, but she improved right after I told a passerby that she wanted no part of it.
I'm not using a bridle because she needs her wolf teeth removed first.
So she really needs to be ready before I consider getting on with just the halter
Progress was made though
Hey mom
Look who is changing directions on the longe line without getting into my bubble or being naughty 😲
Figured since the trailer was hooked up, it'd be good to have Rhianna work on self loading too
Watch her right hind closely at 1:50-2:02 or so
She held it up mid step for over 10 seconds contemplating taking the next step LOL 😂😆
Oh p.s. I figured out the selfie mode
Baby Vera goes home this weekend. So we're going to talk about trailering over the next few days
