So here is the over do update of what the horses and I have been doing.
First we'll start with Dixers:
- Dixie has the seven games down PAT! :) She's making leaps and bounds of progress.
- She can do sideways without a fence...to me and away from me! Also..we're playing with a couple strides of the trot sideways!
- Ponying her beside Cocoa.
- Going for walks almost everyday!
- She is such a sensitive little girl...so totally mirrors just about everything I do. If I put my left leg forward she puts her left front hoof forward...
- Become SO much braver!
- Asks TONS of questions..
- Likes to paw and look at herself in the trailer window!
- Went for her first ride in the 4 horse trailer to Ann Lake the other day!
- Played in the river this summer....absolutely loves water..the fact that she gets to stare at herself...and sticking her head underwater. (looks like she's going fishing!)
- She is currently learning how to back by her tail and hocks.
- Playing with the 7 games at Liberty.
- Disengages and comes to me in the lush grass paddock, will now trot, and CANTER! :)
- Rode her to the end of the dead end road, past horses, and dogs, first ride that far...she volunteered to go and bareback with one rein.
- Learned how to back up while riding.
- Stick to me at Liberty going well!
Now Cocoa's turn:
- Still having some back issues.
- Her canter was very slow one night...beautiful..she was feeling good!
- Vertical flexion is coming along ah-mazingly!
- Riding bb and bridless in the grass pasture is progressing...trot, canter, stop...and circles around Dixie. Responding to just my seat.
- Going on bb and b trail rides!
- Trimmed her hooves the other day.
- Wore her green cooler blanket...and Dixie thought she looked like a green monster! lol Priceless!
- Back up getting snappier.
- Spins at Liberty.
- Close Range circling game at walk.
As you can see they are doing great!! :)
