Are We Really Going To Do It This Time?
I sure hope so. Tanna has come out a couple of times this week and ridden and helped me work Rusty. Yesterday was a bit of a rushed lesson for everybody but today I actually got a saddle on Rusty! It’s very exciting and rather rare. He did great, couldn’t care less. We went over giving to pressure, leg and bit, sacked him out a little, played some fetch and sat on him.
I climbed on off of the gate like usual then as a rehearsal for next time Tanna lead him forward a few steps. We clicked him, gave him a treat and repeated. Then unfortunately we were at the end of the gate.
He feels ready. Has felt ready for a while now. Except for the last time I was going to get on and he went a little insane. But maybe tomorrow he will stay sane and still feel ready. Maybe we will really do it, finally. Wish us luck!
Good Luck!!! You can do it! Cant wait to hear how that works out.
