Rebel's first go at flag bearing
🇦🇺🐴🤎🇦🇺
Rebel surprisingly did ok with some side passing towards and away from me off the fence.

A month since Rebel's 1st go at it, we had another go at it and I struggled more to remember the exercise than Rebel 🐴🤎 The exercise being, Changing Eyes stage 2.
#rebeltheracehorse #ApplyTheMethod
The Changing eyes stage 2 exercise was a new one for us both to wrap our heads around.
#rebeltheracehorse #ApplyTheMethod #downunderhorsemanship
Having a go at a few exercises we both haven't done enough of. Changing eyes stage 1 was one of them.
#rebeltheracehorse #ApplyTheMethod
Another exercise we'll continue working on a few more times. The C-pattern exercise 🐴🤎
I'll hopefully walk a bit straighter of a line as we keep practising 🙂

Enjoying working with Rebel today.

There was movement at the station, for the whip was cracked around. That the gelding from ol Avoca, had tried to get away..... 😂
Rebel's little freak out yesterday. He corrected himself promptly stood still, faced me and showed a sign of relaxing by licking his lips. 👍🐴🤎

My last post I predicted a few heart attacks. So today I tried but Rebel proved me wrong.
He stood there from start to finish and didn't move a foot whilst being desensitised to the stock whip for the first time. Here's a clip of the last attempt.

Trying to draw Rebel back to me without having to move my feet after I lost him not once but twice. He chose wisely 🐴🤎

Teaching Rebel, pick me up of the fence. A handy skill for your horse to have, especially if you struggle mounting from the ground.

Bit of backing up
#rebeltheracehorse #ApplyTheMethod #downunderhorsemanship
There's so many firsts when re-training or starting horses. It's a privelige really 🐴🤎
#rebeltheracehorse
I Liked how he circled closer into me.

Mucking around on Rebel. A bit of bending, yielding & backing into the barrel 😆
#rebeltheracehorse
Our 2nd ride flowed onto the arena with more room to move. Cruised, flexed the head n neck, one rein stops and ended with a go at yielding the hindquarters 🐴🤎
#rebeltheracehorse #ApplyTheMethod #downunderhorsemanship
It's been a month between rides but we had our 2nd ride today 🐎
Started off in the roundyard for a few laps each way then we went out the arena and did lots of flexing and cruised around, mainly at the trot, (as was bit greasy after the rain) while working on one rein stops. Rebel behaved nicely. Just got to work through the ridden fundamentals now. He has alot to learn 🤠🐴🤎
