Cali now likes to hang out with people, and since she was initially somewhat wary of people, I find it hard to make her move out and away. But, to make any progress towards getting her under saddle, we'll need to get her moving forward on her own. Here Shirley is very patient and quiet, yet firm, in getting Cali to move forward on the line. She praises her for the slightest try - precision will come later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae791doEFto The fenced yard where the dogs are is behind me. We've noticed that Connie, the setter, has figured out when we lift the lead rope, the horse is supposed to move forward. Connie is convinced that she could help if she were just allowed to.
Later, Cali got to meet the saddle pad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As_tENWgmhM As typical, there is a cat underfoot. Karen Thomas, NC
