| Clips from today's video |
I still haven't gotten around to digging out my side reins and taking them out to the barn, but I did feel it was time to introduce the concept to Rory so I used a matched pair of lead ropes today. They were quite long and I clipped them to his halter. In his one bouncing fit of the day he barely hit the end of the ropes when he flung his head right up. Rory was pretty good for the most part today, but he was just distracted enough that whoa was not getting through to him. I actually had to use the walls a couple of times to stop him. Rory wasn't running or anything, he just kept walking when I asked him to whoa. I don't like to ask for something too many times without getting a response as that is training the non-response. Overall it was a good basic session today. Rory was very good standing on the crossties for the grooming and tacking up. He does tend to want to stick his nose on everything in sight when I take the cross ties off so I can put the bridle on.
