Tuesday I saddled Mojo before I took him in the school. We did some standing at the mounting block and some flexing left and right at the block. I scratched rather than giving him food for most of the session, he did seem much better and seemed less frustrated. He was also better with the saddle today, he was eating his hay whilst I saddled him.
Then over the poles – first following the target and then without, only gave treats a few times.
Mojo stood perfectly still to have his saddle on today, not a twitch any where.
We just walked round over a pole, still not good at picking up his feet if the pole is off the ground.
He stood at the mounting block whilst I pulled down the stirrups, rocked the saddle side to side.
Must try long reining with the saddle next time.
Positive Horsemanship.
