Monday's Groundwork!!

Yesterday I didn't get to ride because it rained so instead I did groundwork. I walked Navajo around the big yard (it was after dark) and I was seeing how well he walked beside me. He did real good with that. I also worked a bit on him turning with me. We did ok with that but that is going to need work =) Then I stopped him and got him to back up. He actually backed up quite well!! Then for a reward we walked in a straight line for a bit. Then I stopped him and I got him to move his forquarters. He is so much better with that than he was at one point =) Then I praised him and I walked him a bit again. Then I stopped him and moved his hindquarters. That went ok but not as well as the forquarters. That was ok. We then headed toward the barn. I put him away for the night because it was to be rainy overnight too. I actually believe it is to be rainy till tomorrow! I guess we will see if we are able to do more groundwork and such over the time it is rainy. Have a wonderful day!
