If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you...
I am so sorry I have been all over the place this last weekend that's why I haven't written in a while. Anyway what I did yesterday was a lot of ground work. I did some refreshers on the ground work from last week to get myself and them back on track. I did some C lunging making them bend to the inside, yielding the hindquarters and forequarters and some desensitizing to the wipe and umbrella. After doing that with all three horses and working them when they had troubles, it was around 5:30pm when I went home. It was a lot of fun yesterday even though it was cloudy!!

Today I am practicing my basic groundwork exercises on our 3 horses. They already know the cues however it is never a bad idea to have a little refresher :) I will work on lunging with voice cues and look for them to rollback with the change of direction, showing that they respect my space. I will also do some desensitizing exercises with different objects as well as running up to them, to work on their thinking side; getting them to avoid their natural flight responses. |
