Today I saddled and bridled Mojo in his stable, not a flinch or movement – apart from his hay eating.
Then attached the long lines but he didn’t want to leave his hay so I did take the hay net with me and tied it on the sandschool fence. Now we have just rails rather then filled in boards it is easier for him to eat it through the rails. I left him outside the school with the hay net for a while as the farrier had a horse tied up next to the gate to the school.
I then asked him to walk on and in to the school, we then just walked round with me on the left side – which is the side he likes. Then I went to the other side and we walked round a bit more. He still wont go out on a circle so more needs to be done to help him with this.
Next was some standing at the mounting block – he was excellent when I leaned over him, put pressure in the stirrup and wiggled the saddle around.
Big jackpot when he got back to the stable.
Positive Horsemanship.
