This time of year is frustrating at best some days!<br /><br />Oohh I like that pole setup, too! Penciling it into my winter riding ideas. <br /><br />And I totally hear you on the "fake" spooking. I'm 90% positive Q does that as a way to get out of work. One of these days I'll invest in a HR monitor to actually gather data. I have a strong iggling feeling that true spooking rockets her HR up WAY more significantly than when she "spooks" usually.

I don’t second guess anyone on use of crops, etc. You’re the one there, and you know your horse. They reprimand each other all the time, and often I have no idea why they’re doing it, but they’re smart enough to figure it out. I had a hairy day with Bee yesterday on ground, and I fully expected her to buck me off when I got on, but she didn’t. If anything, it made for a better ride. We sometimes have to stand up for ourselves.

The one thing that I can tell you is that he does the same thing: when he thinks the work is too hard or he should be done, then the silly buggers start up. I no longer fall into that trap. He gets tapped with a spur and a sharp pop on the outside rein, and I tell him to stop being the fool. It's working and each ride it gets better.

Right now, it is really helping me and Shiraz connect the dots between what my aids are trying to say and what horse stride needs to do.

Perfect! We have so many guns going off all day around the woods by the farm I think the horses are getting used to it. I say if you need that many shots you’re a lousy hunter and should head to the grocery store! <br /><br />Nice work with Carmen too. I love working with poles to keep them focused and I also think it keeps them from getting bored doing the same thing everyday.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-68446733359966622742017-12-03T17:59:16.102-04:002017-12-03T17:59:16.102-04:00She's very spirited.She's very spirited.
