Try: considering partial disengagement. Studied dvd from Feb. Walk til she blew then started with lateral flexion; also picking up rope and dropping it with the goal being that it means nothing to Try. (On a hunt for RB stuff to consider/fix.) Then after trotting etc tried the partial disengagement--not really getting it. BA hopped on and asked for it firmly at the trot and she went very RBE and gave BA truly lovely dozen or so strides of canter with gorgeous HQ yields--BA worked with her a little to relax by asking for trotting partial diseng each time Try wanted to canter RB.
Forrest:
Today BA was riding Riley and I got Forrest. We got them, took to barn. I groomed and mostly played friendly with Forrest in the barn. Then to the ring. BA rode and I alternately took Forrest around to sniff different things and use my brain to keep changing things up with different games. Then BA lunged Forrest and he did great on his leads! Back to the barn for more lovin while BA cleaned up Riley. Forrest followed me like a puppy in the pasture and he loves the pedestal.
Target:
I was tired by the time it was his turn. Got him from the pasture--he and Lincoln were at the far end of the big guys pasture. Grooming in the barn, then out to Dwight's paddock for some On Line. It was fairly awful in the beginning--the backing and staying out of my space took 3 steps back again. Eventually we got it improved then some circling, S bends--practicing directing the shoulder, and touch it--used my hat--kept throwing it different places--quit when he got it. Then followed me around at liberty.
