Mocha and Caramel. |
Day 2:
Session 3:
Up at 6 am, at my trainer's at 6:45, helped bring his horses in and did session with Mocha. I got human contact (my hand this time!), played friendly game with the lead rope, acted like the string was a halter and by the end of our session, I had her haltered! Leading her around a teaching her to yield to the pressure on the halter.
This was our first session of the day and we'll have another haltering session tonight, and hopefully will get Caramel some attention.

Content with her halter.
Session Four: Got Mocha haltered again. She was extremely jumpy and as my trainer let out the other horses to pasture, she got the lead rope wrapped around her neck and ran for a good fifteen minutes, while I ran with her so she didn't run into the pressure. She had no intention of stopping and my trainer had to help block her so I could untangle the rope and take the halter off. Rough evening for both of us. After filling waters and cleaning stalls, we let them out into the arena for the night.
Ride on,
