Thursday's Groundwork!

Some of you may be wondering why I didn't do anything with Navajo yesterday. Well it was really windy and cool and it was raining in the morning when I would have ridden. So he got a day off..lucky horse..

Anyway Today I worked on Navajo moving his forequarters and hindquarters. At first he wanted to move all of his legs but towards the end he figured it out what I wanted. Right now it takes quite a bit of pressure for him to move I want to get it to the point that I just have to tap the whip agains he and he moves. Then Eventually just wave the whip and he moves. Once we have him moving at a lighter touch I am going to reintroduce it to him when I am on him. There are different things I want to work on but for now this is what I want to accomplish. If anyone has any ideas of anything I can teach Navajo please let me know. Thanks!!
