She does that cute non-stop narration of what the horse is thinking or doing, too. Totally jealous.<br /><br />In a later video she has you do serpentines and perhaps she got that from Buck, it's a mandatory exercise for all his students as they start the riding phase of his clinics. I've begun to rely on these serpentines on every single strange horse I get on (as I'm shopping, I get the fun of riding a lot of horses I don't know). I also used it at the start of every single ride on my crazy mare, because it keeps her mind off whatever might scare her and as your wonderful trainer said, you're halfway to a one-rein stop the entire time you're doing the serpentines. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing. I know it's hard to post lessons, putting our mistakes in front of the entire world for eternity!lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602045830931362686.post-54599831382173058122015-10-19T11:40:12.784-06:002015-10-19T11:40:12.784-06:00Shirley, I think she's going to be an excellen...Shirley, I think she's going to be an excellent horse. I can't wait to get her home.<br /><br />Linda, 45 days will be November 3rd. We're hoping to do the horse switch on November 5th - since Jay and I already have that day off. They're still doing round pen riding, I expect that they'll transition to the arena this week. I don't know that they'll get out on the trails before Skeeter gets home, but that's okay. As long as Skeeter has a great stop and basic steering, I don't mind doing my own trail work with her. I've had the opportunity to see her spook twice now and she does a lovely "spook in place", so I'm not worried about her running off with me once we're riding at home.GunDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965363044411500380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602045830931362686.post-76883647851004263032015-10-19T10:23:07.731-06:002015-10-19T10:23:07.731-06:00Looking good!
