The confident horse I had yesterday was still there today! I went out to play and decided to test my first three games at liberty. Went beautifully! Not problems at all! Tried the yo-yo, but could only do the first yo part. =/ Not enough draw. Then I played with driving from zone 3 at liberty. Was a little sticky to start, but we worked through it and took a lap around the upper pasture.
I haltered up then and played some approach and retreat with the arena. No breakthroughs really; went in and out a couple times. But all without pressuring and with confidence and curiosity. Other than that, I started asking for trotting circles again.
Progressing slowly, but surely. And having Cal's confidence makes such a difference!
Goals for this week: Gain more confidence with the arena, play with more riding, play more with moving to zone 4-5 driving, start playing with more porcupine games (lead by ear, chin, mane, legs, tail).
