First thing this morning I went out to see the horses and work with Megan. This is the first day in two weeks I have been able to walk right up and halter her without the chance of her running off. She was a prefect angel and did not hesitate to please in every way she knew how.
I started with the lead rope and desensitizing her and quickly moved on to pivoting or yielding hind and forequarters. We then worked on some backing and turning exercises. The next was side pass and circle pass and she did these both flawlessly and without much correction. I did have to push her away from me because she always wants to walk very close to me even when we are doing a circle pass. Fyi, a Circle Pass is where you walk forward and send the horse into a half circle lunge in front and past you to the side all while keeping the forward momentum. It is pretty fun and great excercise for both the horse and the trainer.
All in all it was an awesome morning, now we are off to Tammy's first riding lesson at a local trainers just down the road.
Wish us luck!
