Anyways, Gwen and I have been having a BLAST lately! Monday and Tuesday we worked on our basics, things like porcupine/backing off the chest and nose, etc. After attempting to back her and getting zero results, I decided we needed to go back to basics until she got those good again, and THEN work on moving forward. My goal is to have our Level 1 online audition in by the end of November, which is totally workable. She's actually doing figure eights now (whoohoo!) and my only "problem" is the trot-backup, since she doesn't really know what I want when I try to back her with me beside her (rather, without pulling her back. She doesn't understand that she should back WITH me, not wait for me to pull her along) So that's what we're working on :)
Today we took it easy, and had some good ol' undemanding time. I gave her a seriously good grooming, and she was looking super pretty, all shiny and clean. Then I just let her graze on the patch of grass behind me while I watched the riding lessons in the ring. All in all, an awesome afternoon with my favorite girl :)
