For somewhere around 3 months I have done NOTHING with Memphis. I realized today that I just waisted valuable time that I could have been using teaching him something, anything, working with him on the ground even if I couldn't ride. What is wrong with me?!!! I've been so caught up being worried about saddle work that I haven't paid attention to anything else except the weather to see when it is going to rain.
When Dodge was alive we worked ALL the time together trying to get to know each other on the ground first. I haven't done that with Memphis. I have failed him.
Tonight I am going to do ground poles with him, walking over them, around them, and maybe even into them. Might use the plastic sack trick and work on bending.
I should have been doing this all along. :(
