Dodge

Went to see her last night and we worked her. She sweated!!!!!! First off we lunged her with "walk". My lord she actually walked. Took damn near 20 minutes but she got that walk means walk. I lunged her and my friend lunged her as well. That's all we focused on was walk.

Then we rode. Low and behold she actually walked! Now my friend is a much better rider than I, I will probably try to sneak her out more often just to get pointers and what not from her. I rode and we walked as well! BREAKTHROUGH!

On Friday we will just work on walk again. I don't want to confuse Dodge by changing it up. I want a solid walk from her when I ask for it. We'll probably stick with boring walk for a bit. Next we'll work on the run walk, but that will be a couple weeks.

My BO also told me yesterday how sweet Dodge is becoming! Yay! It has been a long LONG road to get Dodge back to being handled. Two months ago I was almost ready to give up on her and now I'm looking forward to training with her. She is the best damn horse ever in my humble opinion.

That's all I got for the moment. I'll be back out on Fri for walk lesson two, so I'll let you know how that goes then!
