First I got her using the thinking side of her brain- then I repeated my lesson from yesterday |
And I made sure I could get her to give to me on both sides |
She got lots of reassuring pets |
Then we started getting her to disengage her hindquarters- |
Which led to going forward and lots of changes of directions- always keeping her nose tipped inside! |
Changing directions here... |
Really encouraging that forward movement to free up her feet and her brain |
She got the hang of it pretty quickly- and she felt wonderful (if only a little unbalanced and unsure) |
I got up to a lope |
And then we wound down and finished with her giving some more. |
She's a pretty good girl. I couldn't have been happier about how this day went. And she will remember this ride her whole life- you can count on that! |
