We're Back! Click back to the first few posts to see how I came to use Clinton Anderson's DownUnder Horsemanship method in order to train me to handle Max on the ground and to gain confidence in the saddle.
Leading Behind…
I abandoned the trotting part and went back to reinforcing the walking and stopping part. He did very well.
Then, we practiced side-passing down the fence line.
Moving down the fence to the right (left foot crossing over right foot) he did pretty well. Moving down the fence to the left (right foot over left foot) was not smooth or pretty. We had lots of corrections to make all down the fence. We practiced each way a few times. It did get better each way with practice.
I need to work on getting him to roll back on his hind feet and make that 180 degree turn. He’s almost there but he keeps trying to come forward about halfway through the change of direction. I’ll watch that LFR-2 segment again this week.
But tonight I’m watching that Leading Behind segment again...
Have a good ride,
Greenhorn
