Session Seven:
Went to go see the two girls after volleyball. Haltered Mocha in her stall, which took a good ten minutes, and took her out into the arena. I played friendly game with her, along with Yo-Yo to work on her backup and for her to give me two eyes. Began the 'send' of the circling game to get her feet moving before disengaging her and bringing her back in.
Rubbing on her face, I did some porcupine game to get her to back up, and rewarded every try. I also worked on backing when I jiggled the rope straight up next to her ear.
We played some driving and squeeze game with some empty stalls; squeeze through the gate, give me two eyes and disengage hindquarters. We did it inside and out four times and she put slack in the line each time.
As the light faded, I worked on leading her back to her stall, turning and making her walk circles around me if she changed gait or got ahead of me. Once back in her stall I played friendly game with the halter, sliding on and off, rubbing it and lots of rubs on her neck.
Such a good girl! Caramel is going to her a lot of attention tomorrow!
Ride on,
