Monday's Groundwork!

Yesterday I was doing a lot of outside work. We worked in the garden for a good three hours mulching it so that when we go away it won't be all weedy. Then we made supper and I asked my dad to dump some dirt by Navajo's barn so I can once again level it out =) It isn't completely done but I plan or hope to finish it today.

So since I was so tired I didn't really ride. I hopped on a bit with the halter and leadrope but I know that usually doesn't go so well because Navajo doesn't listen the best. I need to work on that =) I did some backing up and I would then tell him to stand then I would walk away whistle for him and he would come. That was really cool. I also did some in hand work walking and trotting him in circles. Going around the corners with him is getting better. At one point I practically had to push him or pull him around the corners depending which side I was on and whether we were going left or right. I think that is an improvement. I didn't do much else with him. But I do want to ride today. I shouldn't be quite as tired =D Hope you have a wonderful day!!
