I love these little fillies so much.
Despite not having an indoor space to work with, or even proper outdoor lighting, I’m still out there every day after work making little bits of progress with our herd.
Tonight I spent some time with the girls and began introducing them to the whip. Whips can sometimes get a bad wrap with people who don’t understand the proper way of utilizing them. But when you’re working with wildies and feral horses, they’re often a beautiful tool to begin introducing touch with your horse without forcing your physical body into their bubble before they’re ready. And I always ensure when I incorporate whips into my training that the energy behind my whip is an extension of me and not a separate tool.
My intention behind using them tonight was to get the girls use to seeing and being around them. And clearly they had 0 concern because they instantly began playing with them lol By the end of our short session I was able to rub Willow from her face, down her neck to her withers. Sage allowed me to touch her face and top of her neck.
These two girls are incredibly special and I’m excited to experience their progress over the next few weeks.
