Week 3: Working with queen under saddle. Got our first ride today. I started training this horse without much or any background on her. With my experience from training dozens of horses over the years I always start ground up to build the solid foundation we will need later in their training. Every horse I ride has to know the basics of flexing. If you can’t flex a horse you will not be able to stop them. Queen has been flexing good on her left side but again, here you will see on her right side when asked to flex she has her spooky brain reaction. But we are making progress with this girl and I am excited to continue her training.
Let’s welcome back Serenity! After a month off of training (due to my recent marriage🥳) she’s back with me again. This week I just wanted to give her a refresher on her ground work and see how she would move under the saddle. Next week she will be joining me back in the arena where I will be starting her on jumps. 🤠
Week 1 Queen: Our first session lunging on the lead line. Defiantly a few boogers on the right side. A little uncertainty and a lot of pushiness. She’s very intelligent and you guys can see the improvement from just 10 minutes of work. Looking forward to getting better acquainted with one another. 🤠
Update on Lance day 8 of 30 walk/ trot in the round pin. 🤠 he was reluctant in the beginning to pick up his feet and move out. Got through a small buck sesh and on our way to smooth and motivated ride.
