And first ride off a leash, first ride with another horse. He rocked it.<\/p>\n
Still trouble with forward momentum. He was great following Coyote as long as Tanna kept a hold of the lead rope but as soon as we took it off and tried to get him to follow on his own he said “no”. I got a few good steps and would click him but mostly we went in circles. He was giving good to the bit, moving off of my legs and didn’t offer to do anything bad, just wasn’t big on going. Need to pony him more I guess and patience.<\/p>\n
There was one time he took off going great on his own. Daisy was determined to keep us company. She got up to move out of his way once and Rusty was off after her \ud83d\ude42 Head down, ears perked, he was on her trail. Twice he went good like that, He got cookies and that was the perfect spot to end the ride.<\/p>\n
He is kind of like riding a limp noodle. With that beautiful long neck of his and his still scrawny little body he bends, twists and flops all over the place. Not entirely a bad thing.<\/p>\n
Actually got some pictures this time. My daughter was along for the fun and I gave her my phone to keep her busy. After a quick lesson in how to work it…<\/p>\n
