I have had a break through this week loose schooling my mare. :wink:
Before she would either wander off and roll ignoring me or she would explode and bomb round to the point I worried for her knee and general limbs lol til sweating and panting and totally freaked out wanting out of the school and when taken out bucking and leaping around my hyper head :frown:
She was improving but kept running to the gate or the top corner next to the stables and turn out pen even if empty :running:
This week she has clicked and is walking and trotting when told using my arms an voice as signals and goes in the direction mostly that I want and keeps going on a a large circle or around the perimeter of the school. She does break into canter at the start if fresh and somtimes she stops to nosey over the fence if another horse but such an improvement.
Then last two nights afterwards she has chosen to come to me and follow me loose like my shadow and if I jog she trots and if i stop or walk she does so too and the same with turns :cloud9:
So amazed with her and going to try join up which i have seen done but want some tips please :tongue:
