Mocha haltered easily and led even better than yesterday. Focused mainly on Porcupine and Driving, and her Circling is getting so much better!
My trainer worked with her to get her to be with another human, and that went well. He got Porcupine and Driving really well with her.
I mounted her again, and worked on backing up with two reins (bumping both up one after another). We also walked off, which one of the times she began to trot and my dismount was not the most graceful of dismounts.........got an ear full of dirt and down my back (:P).
I worked on her staying on the rail after that and quit after I got on and off with her not walking off.
Session 3 with Caremel:
Touched her right away and spent the next forty minutes getting the halter on (she's still shy on top of her nose and her right side!) and she ended up spinning out before I could tie it.
With my trainer's help, after two and a half hours of her running and using the telescoping carrot stick, we got a halter on her. We also used a rope on her neck previously to introduce the feel of the rope to her and to help work her way to the halter.
With the halter on, we worked on her having the feel of it and leading a bit. She was such a trooper! We quit there and we'll see how well next time goes!
Ride on,
