Tonight I decided to just lunge Navajo and work on some side passing which has been neglected:( Anyway I lunged him both ways, clockwise and counter clockwise. He did good both ways and responded very well!
I then got him to back up for me and he got more confident and lighter the more I got him to back up. We are going to have to work on backing around corners again.
Then I worked on moving aside and all he wanted to do was back up. I got more direct and made my signals clearer and he finally moved over both front and back. Then I worked at sidepassing and he did it two times. Not in a row so I know it needs a lot of work but we are working on it. I think if we stick at it and work a little on it every day he will eventually get it.
I groomed him and praised him for his good and hard work. He was happy to be able to go and eat..LOL... I mucked out his pature too. Well another day with my awesome horse and who can complain. Off to bed I go. Have a great evening!
