Sunday


picture taken by Johan

Fed the horses breakfast and did the stable chores this morning. It was quiete busy at the stable again though so I decided to go home and come back in the evening.
Liberty with Milva while Patricia practised for her online level 1 audition.
I asked Milva to sideways over three barrels at liberty, figure 8s, sideways away and towards and then we went into my homemade roundcorral - which isn´t so round. Walk, trot, canter and stop transitions and also backing up. The backing up at liberty when she is out on a circle is not constant yet - sometimes she decides to ignore me instead.
We also had a little discussion about change of direction tonight. Milva just did not want to go to the right and definitely not change direction for a right lead.
Instead of making a big thing out of it I walked with her a few rounds to the right and gave her lots of praise for it and stopped.

  1. Klokt! Jag har samma ibland med Dorado, han ger mig stegringar istället :) Tydligen enklare än att gå i höger varv eller så har jag belönat stegringen så mycket generösare. Troligt ;)
