I just got in from a FANTASTIC working session with Navajo..This morning it was a bit frustrating getting him to move off of my cues. He was not light at all..
THEN TONIGHT!! I went out to him with the bridle took him up to the dusk to dawn light (so I could see) and rode him in circles getting him to move off my leg (calf) cues:) He did good..We trotted a bit too:) Then I took him up to the back of the bank barn and did some backing up..He did ok with that:) I also got him to go in a circle with out using direct rein just my neck and leg cues:):) HE NEVER DID THAT BEFORE!!!
Then I got off of him (since he had no clue what I was asking when I asked him to move his hindquarters with my leg) I asked him from the ground..HE MOVED IMMEDIATELY ON BOTH SIDES:):):) I got him to flex to and he did that well too:) No moving around nothing just gave me his head:) Then I got him to move his forequarters and HE DID THAT WELL TOO!!! I was so PROUD!!! I finally accomplished something I have been working on for a while:) YEAH!!! I was getting frustrated and then I have an awesome night like this:):) Everyone have a good evening!!
