38 Days until Showtime!

Braydon
This week I worked with scout on a couple of
different things I worked on getting her to yield her hindquarters.  I
also worked on getting her to not lean on an outside boundary while I was
lunging her. That was what became the most difficult for me. Once I got her to
the bigger more open pen she would just run off through her shoulder and drag me
around. Then I started working on getting her to focus her attention on me
instead of trying to run away. That caused her to be able to lunge on a loose
rope.  I got her to follow me a
little better especially at the trot, because I started to utilize her yielding
her hindquarters to get forward movement.

As time is winding down on us there is a sense of urgency to try
to do more, and it is challenging to find a balance that is necessary to ensure
forward progression and not cause them to go backwards. Each horse is different
and has their own special needs. We will not bite on satan’s bait of wanting
more out of the horses than they are ready to give at this point it is somewhat
like watching a cake bake.  A
  combination of heat and time have to work together to achieve the desired end
  result. The horses are all doing quite well. The biggest battles for Braydon
  and I will be with our own thoughts. We will work daily to stay on track and
  are looking forward to their progress in the coming
days.
