Yesterday we had flooding across Kentuckiana. If you pay attention to news, Louisville actually made the national headlines! I'm fine, my house is fine, and nothing got water damaged that I own. The rest of Louisville, really just downtown, got spanked by the rain.
Needless to say I didn't get anything with Dodge done. The barn owner said her driveway looks like a swamp right now. That's cool. I'm going out today to get todays lesson in with Dodge. It will be the exact same as before. Just walking away, having her stand still, and then walking her back. It's ugly but it will work. I also am going to throw a few figure eights in there and work on back. She got back suprisingly well on Monday. I was working her with the herd, but she got it very easily.
I've also been going back to her after I put her back up with the herd. I go back out with the halter and lead rope but don't put it on her. I just pet her and stand next to her then walk away. My point here is to let her know that I am not always going to take her out of the pasture. I don't want her running from me all the time.
So here's to another fun filled night of working on my nervous horse!
