My Daisy Haffie is a real sweetie, we have been together just coming up for 3 years and we are happy hackers (although I would love to wear all the lovely gear and do my daughters RS fun dressage one year)
She has Haffie tendancies i.e. she can be stubborn and I beleive her to be a really clever girl. On the whole she is brilliant and does just what is asked of her, but out of the blue she 'plants' now and again and she also has issues with hacking alone (we do do it though) and also she is rather like a homing pigeon and seems to know exactly what direction we are going and if she 'considers' we have been out too long and i point her away from the route home she can get a bit spinny and awkward.
So (please excuse my rambling) I would like to do some groundwork with her to build up her confidence and our relationship.
Could anyone recomend a good book which would show me some stuff I could do with her.
I was watching a Trec video the other day and they were getting the horse to stand in a circle on his own, so me and Daisy practised that today and she got it really quickly, I think she would enjoy some groundwork
