Friday's Work Session!!

This evening I got to work with Navajo a bit:) I actually wasn't planning on it but I am teaching him to come when I whistle which he knows if he comes he gets a treat (carrot, apple or other horse treat:D) So I have been workin on this for a little while now. And he is getting it slowly but surely...He doesn't always come right away but he is learning. Anyway I was like he is listening good and he knows I have carrots..So I got him to follow me around..I did a lot of inhand work which was mostly getting him to trot and walk when I jogged or walked. And that also included if I walked faster he walked faster and if I jogged/ran faster he trotted faster..he actually did really good. I would slow down a bit and he was slowing down right with me! It was so cool. I also got him to move his forequarters and in just the past few days he has definitely gotten better. I am so happy with him..I did some backing up to. Then to finish up the session we trotted back to the barn and he got a nice long grooming session..Most of the dust ended up on me :D I had fun though..I hope to ride tomorrow..We will see. Have a wonderful weekend!
