A Theme For The Year
I actually got out and worked with horses today!
Two horses even.
You would have thought with most of Christmas break being warm and sunny that this horse working thing would have happened a lot. But, with everyone home for break it’s a difficult thing to accomplish.
Rusty and I played a little at a few random things.
Sunshine and I got down to work! We worked on sit in a new location. A location not in our yard. It doesn’t look like much, but he was lining up and backing up to the bag all on his own. I’ll happily focus on that for awhile. Get him doing everything at liberty. Then we’ll go back to asking for a full sit.
We worked on bowing. I’m trying to break it down ad build on the smaller pieces, get those going good. And look at the results we’re getting there!
Then we wandered about and played at random things. My son had built a ramp for his bicycle. So we walked up it. The extra length was wonderful and he got all four feet ON the pedestal for the first time ever! I’m going to try to get the hind feet on cue. Then go back to all four feet on the pedestal.
I guess our theme for today was breaking things up and working on the small details. Might just keep that as a theme for the year! Once those small details are perfected then the bigger picture just falls into place.
