Today, my friends, Joann, Carol, and Val came to work with their horses (and mule) today with me. We had all sorts of dollar store "scary" toys to de-spook our horses with. I opened an umbrella on Gunny's back...and she ended up getting scared of it, so I had to drop it...but she was almost de-spooked with everything else she had. I even shot a noisy, moving, toy machine gun off of her back. :) I was so proud.
I also worked on the walk and jog and getting her head down and keeping her on the rail. Progress is happening slowly but surely! I'm really proud of her. I'm working more on myself and being clear and consistent with my cues. I think that's my biggest downfall. I don't want to fall back into my old habits. I also need to teach her to rest on the rail, and not the center of the arena.
I ordered her a new full cheek snaffle bit and a nice saddle pad, too. I'm excited for both.
