Yesterday was Jubilant's first chance to shine in the open spaces and she did. Chris, Dan, Kahyim, Dad and I all went for a couple hour ride north of the McRady homestead.
Dad rode her and she did a fantastic job, rarely showing reluctance.
We even came across a decent size body of water by the windmill and closely following K and I on Charlly, she walked right on through it more than once.
She doesn't even seem like the same horse she was just a few months ago mostly due to Dad and recently Dan working with her and implementing the techniques used by Clinton Anderson in his training videos.
I have worked with her a couple of times and also am enjoying learning more for myself about riding in general using Charlly.
Kahyim not only loses interest, but rebels against the hobby, the second she feels pressured into it (clearly her mothers' daughter) but thoroughly enjoys her time with Charlly when she just gets to relax and have fun with it. She giggled and talked the entirety of the ride yesterday. When we walked through the water she exclaimed, "This is AWESOME!" I think this summer she will really bond with and develop a love for riding.
Guess that's all for now...
