It continues to surprise me at the number of people who declare their horses “perfect” who have not taken the time to train despooking.
Moon and I spent the day on Sunday training her to go over poles and a little oxer. I really felt bad for the mare since it was very obvious again that she needs a good lesson on despooking. I plan to work on that this week since spook and spook is a bad combination. Her lunging lesson took the place of my lesson with Tammy this week but I did ride Amira. I am still trying to find the magic of keeping my body straight while leaning far enough into the left stirrup to get her to turn nicely. How to keep your body level but push down on the stirrup. I did try to keep my hands down below the front of my saddle but I am unsure if I succeeded. I really need to remember to take my video camera!
Lynnea came by and kicked our tails teaching yoga. Don’t know if it was the yoga or the riding/lunging but I was bone tired last night when I got home.
As fgor the petals part, the snow is finally starting to disappear from my gardens and I need to clean my room so I can start more seeds. I need another body with more energy I thinks!
