Cleaning the Barn & The Rocking horse - June 24, 2008

Sundance
Cleaning the Barn
Most of the time with Sundance was spent cleaning the barn together, for hours on end. Laughing, getting our noses in things and eating things we weren't supposed to (Actually Sundance did that), we had so much fun together! Later in the afternoon I played with him on the 45 foot line and worked on maintaining the canter and the advanced squeeze game. He did REALLY good on both of the tasks, we had so much fun. We went Liberty and played all the way up to the barn on different fun tasks, we had a blast and enhanced our relationship even more.

Rocking Horse
  • Sideways - At trot confidently, getting a lot better.
  • Sideways with out fence, while person still - His first time, confused but caught on perfectly
  • Backing - Very straight and fast, hardly any phases just the "schweigermutter" look.
  • Cantering on 2 ft line - Slow and sassy!
  • Riding and cantering in the Natural Performer! - Canter was for the first time ever soft and like a rocking horse, I could actually get him to put his weight on his hindquarters and have his forequarters move in a circle for the first time ever! I am excited about his development, my goal is to develop him to where he his as evenly uphill as he is down hill and I believe having this saddle will do a lot of the developing.

I LOVE MY NATURAL PERFORMER!
