Hi everybody! So just a short post for today as this is a super busy week for me! Aside from trick training I think it is important to just get out and go a nice long trail ride. I have been taking Sam out for the past couple of weeks on a nice long jaunt outside and he loves it! It is nice relief from the usual schedule and helps clear both of our heads. Sometimes if we practice on things too often our horses and we ourselves get burned out. We get tired and frustrated if things aren't progressing as quickly as we like. So it is good to get out of the arena or whatever setting you're in and explore new scenery and practice other things like straight lines, or leg yielding. The outdoors also provides a lot of natural obstacles such as logs, creeks, gates and rows of trees where you can work on maneuvers. Or simply just take a leisurely walk and enjoy each other's company. It will strengthen your bond and you will learn to work as a team better. So get and have a fun adventure! I think I am going to need one after this week! ;)
