Day 7 With Anna

Anna helped me again with Milva today. What a difference compare to last time! Milva was all leftbrain introvert again, very confident and relaxed. She had her ears forwards all the time and was listening to Anna.
Anna started her session again with walking in z3 making her stop and walk again. Later she was hanging on her on one side and made Milva walk while hanging, stearing her from above.
The nice thing with Milva is that she is completly standing still when getting on her. But she always did that - we practiced that alot.
I also explained to Anna that she doesn´t have permission to get on her if she tries to move away.
After hanging on her Anna got on Milva and rode her in walk for about 5 minutes. Making her stop and walk and steared her.
Milva was a superstar. Just going with the flow.
During the whole time of the session Malin´s father in law was working in front of the ridinghouse making a dressagepaddock 30m x 60m. He was driving up and down with big machines and making alot of noise. But Milva didn´t care at all :).

  1. Ohh gosh what a wonderful reading. Glad to se that it’s going forward so that we can ride out together in the winter.
    Orkan run towards me today and Milva followed him, thought they was glad to se me and that they didn’t se bucket with food in my hand ;-)).
    Milva was very kind of having a test of Orkans food and licked his mule when he ate. Crazy horses.
    They must have fun in the mud because they both have Rastafarian mane and a beautiful brownish-grey colour of mud. I joked with Malin and said I want a ride-through horse-wash or a vacuum cleaner for the horse.

  2. Good girl!!
    It's going very well, don't you think?

    You're lucky she doesn't move when you mount. Star is very fidgety and she always walks away which is very annoying. I make sure I don't get on as long as she does that but it takes ages every time. I need to do a session of mounting only as soon as she gets better...
