Kalli had yesterday off.
Today I did a little more lunging in the running reins, this will the last day of this.

Today I did my first day of leg yielding under saddle. To teach this in the initial stages I wear spurs. I walk the horse around the round yard. I ask for a little flexion to the outside (enough to stop the horse trotting off, which they sometimes do initially out of confusion), I then apply enough spur pressure to get the horse to move over with the hindquarters and cross their back legs. The second they do this I drop the outside rein and let them go straight, and reward with patting and vocally. I never let the horse stop on the rail, depending on temperament it can frighten the horse and cause them to rare as they feel they have no where to go.

I did this exercise three times on each rein, she was a very good girl.

I then hoped off, took my spurs off and had a little ride. Just walk trot and halt again. It was good today because there were lots of school kids riding around. She was a little frightened of the little grey pony's at first . But I just let her watch and soak it in for a while. By the end I was walking around with them, walking away from and around them and doing my own thing.
I was very impressed with her today. She was a little snorty on the weekend, but I think it was just the horrible cold windy weather.
