I couldn’t believe it when I got back from holidays and worked with Mr. Tay and Ms. Winnie in the round pen! All I can say is WOW how amazing they both were! All the horse problems we were dealing with had just disappeared for this session. Tay did some great Liberty with the slightest ask and well Winnie was a totally different girl. I even asked her “Who are you and what have you done with Winnie?” She calmly went through the gate then just sniffed around waiting for me to ask her something. Normally this would be an opportunity to rip around. With my rope burn I could only do Liberty which we have done very little of. I got some beautiful circles with transitions up and down and change of direction. Awesome stick to me with even a bit of a canter! Then I asked for some figure eights at a walk which got accomplished with some loss of connection but still amazing considering. I have never seen them both so willing to please and Winnie so calm at Liberty. A little time off made all the difference and training a horse couldn’t be more rewarding.
