Pictures lifted from the video of the longe lesson |
I brought Rory in today, groomed him and saddled up. Despite having done nothing for a week, Rory remembered all his lessons and stood quietly in the barn. He didn't even move when I put the saddle on. We went out to the arena and I set up the camera to video the lesson. After reviewing the basics I let him have a bit longer line and he was just as good. I set up a cavaletti and longed him over it. The first couple of times Rory trotted up to it he jumped over the obstacle. He half hopped over it for a while, then figured out how to accomodate his trot to take it in stride. Before we finished I asked Rory to trot more forward, and then come back to his working trot, and then go forward again. It was a good session.
