I am back after long trip.
Thursday Thanksgiving went to Rollover to visit with Try for a few minutes in the pasture. She was happy to eat carrot and then go back to eating grass.
Friday: Day 1 exploration of Game of Contact. First take the time it takes in the pasture--Try after 10 days off not interested in being with me--took 15-20 minutes. Then paddock--stick together took awhile also. Ring walked and then trotted until she blew--took longer than usual. Then filmed a bit of Game of Contact stuff to get an idea of where we are.
1. Reins mean go: Try is close to walking off when I pick up contact with my driving seat.
2. Displaced behavior/reaction to bit: stretching down to avoid the bit--a. maintain contact b. wait for a change c. suspension or two reins bring up with Cobie's feel
3. Walk--she isn't stepping into the feel of the contact?? Not real sure of this--need to check it.
4. Trot:: don't do it yet
