we had a great night with the mares tonight!!
Pin Up Girl, my moms mare, had a very good night! my mom put her back in the roundpen and worked on "whoa" and turning into the fence. she did however loose her leadrope by stomping it into the mud and breaking it..but never one to give up my mom kept on training and working with the buggy whip and touching her all over. she got about a foot away from her without the leadrope... i do say GOOD JOB! :) I'm going to start helping my mom so she can touch her mare..starting with putting a rope on her and teaching her to tie. This is a team effort after all!
Ruger was exceptional tonight..we didn't sweat at all!! we've had this habit of breaking into a cold sweat when i start working with her, which is understandable cause she is scared to death of people. Tied again, and willingly took a step forward and let me touch her after i bounced the buggy whip on and around her face for while. We ended on a good note playing the "get off me" game..I'd put my hand on her nose and she would gently push her nose into my hand and I would continue to bounce the buggy whip on her head.
No photos today, I apologize..i know..i've let you down..lol. It's hard to take photos and keep an eye on a mustang! :)
over and out!
