We worked Prince on forward, stop and circles, and following the focus. This is same thing we have working on with Prince on most of the time. We have been consistant with him. He is really doing well and is getting a lot more trustworthy. Prince goes home at the end of this month and has progressed well.
George is just the sweet horse he has been since we have had him. He is stopping, backing and does everything very well. He has gotten very soft in his face and will be going home soon. He will make a very nice horse for his owner.
Cinco had a really good day. We drove him for the first time this day. He took to it like a duck to water. He remained calm through the whole thing. This is a really big thing for him.
Gully had his second ride today. He is a quick study and is very responsive and light and sensitive. He is a fast learner. He is growing mentally a lot. He doesn't throw his fits like he did and he stays calm longer.
Sugarfoot had a little snit today. She is a very dominent pushy mare. After she tried being dominent, she settled right back to learning. This is her second time to be saddled. She did well with the saddeling.
Fred had a good day today. We had to work on him catching us, because he forgot how to do it. We also worked at liberty on desensitization. He is still a little spooky. We also worked on draw. We went in a circle and asked for disengagement and when his head started to face us, we walked off. This develops draw.
Junior is a new horse we are helping a friend with. He had the best day and the biggest change of all the horses we worked today. First we changed saddles because we noticed that his shoulders were rotating. That made him much more relaxed and then we put the saddle behind the shoulder extension. That made him carry his head low and his owner says he never has done this. His mind is more engaged and he is yawning to get the Adrenalin out. We know now that we are on the right track with this horse.
