It slowly moved toward her. <br /><br />The bonfire was probably very scary for Mags. For Carmen I find asking her to graze does not calm her down. Asking her to work on something simple does. I think it gives her mind a place to go to rather than on the scary thing.

Seems like Carmen has made great strides in her work with you and the trainer is helping to push the envelope further. :) KateRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870548960430847612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-57998199260236255112016-06-11T14:23:30.799-03:002016-06-11T14:23:30.799-03:00It's wonderful to see how mch you care about C...It's wonderful to see how mch you care about Carmen and your work together. My connection is too slow to watch the videos, but I get the idea of what Royce is working toward. And BTW, they do not elect Kings in Sweden. It happened in 1523 because Sweden had been under Danish rule. That king was sort of our George Washington, a true hero.

I wish I had some toys...You're a trekkie too! <br /><br />I wish I had some toys like that. I was amazed about the bag on the lungeline - I can imagine it on the whip, but on the line I'd be afraid I'd lose my horse and there'd be an accident because the bag was connected to the horse. <br /><br />I took Mag for a walk today and he was more frightened than I'd ever seen him - a neighbor had made a bonfire in his yard and it sounded like a group of people all cracking lunge whips at the same time, non stop, and even worse, the sounds were echoing off the hillside on the other side of the street so I honestly thought there were TWO bonfires for a while. It literally scared the poop out of Mag, and that never happens. I told him to graze but he was unable to, peacefully, he'd grab a bite and stand there head up eyes crazy, pondering the danger, but....thankfully that's as bad as he got. I grazed him until the fire actually burned down, so a very long time. Then he saw the neighbor's garbage sacks and skittered around me in a circle - yah, it wasn't a good day for us, but I feel very safe on the ground. <br /><br />Isn't it great to have a good trainer? I hope I have one too - not sure yet.<br /><br />lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.com
