I went to visit my mom and sis this week. Ah yes...I moved to my grannys old farm for a few days with my horses so right now Don desperetly misses Maybell. So we thought to make a visit. It's about 1o km away so I wanted to use a saddle. And surprise, surprise the saddle doesn't fit anymore. Well I haven't used it for umm...a looong time. So bareback then.
I have to admit I was a bit scared. Donberch was exited. Hes just loooves going out. It took some time to get there cause we didn't do canter.
May was really happy to see Don again. She's alone and misses her friends. Lauren decided to do some training with her and i let Don to the pasture to help Lau.
So it was "no harness" training today. May is a bit sensitive so I let them do some exercisen is walk. It's just amazing how good there relationship accualy is. May obeis to every movement Laurned does and thats just great. They did perfect cicles and halts. May even collected int trot without problems. Canter is still a bit difficult. May gets energetic and want's to play. They managed to do some flying changes after 7 steps. Good! We also did some land work. Lauren want's to teach Maybell spanish steps. We started with basics. Lauren touched May's front leg with a whip (just touched! no hitting!). When May pulled her leg away Lau took away the wip and gave her treat. Then we repeated the signal. Lauren started touching her leg near the hoof and moved up a bit after 3 successful attempts.
Then it was time to say goodby. Don was sad when going back but I think it was a really successful day. I let all the horses inside about 7 PM and fed them. Otto tried to play and ran around stall before moveing to his box.
