Wendy:
Today I started with round pen work and was able to catch him fairly quickly, but I did up the pressure more today. I am getting the idea that to make better progress I am going to have to push to get where I want to go. He is happy to play some cat and mouse with me and that needs to change. I feel like today was our worst day so far, it seemed that we lost ground in some areas that were good and gained ground in other areas. He’s been really pushy about not wanting me on that right side. I was so exhausted from working in the heat all day with the other horses and so I asked Steve to step in and help me finish on a good note. We did end the lesson on a good note and will look for improvement later.
