Reining Cow Horse Training with Marc De Champlain–DAY 2–Repetition is the Mother of Learning

Today was a day of patterns for our reining training for Sundance, and starting to refine more of his body position for his leads and departures. This morning I played with Sundance at liberty before we started and was teaching him a bit on starting his super close circles, Marc got to watch the whole session… he said he was impressed, and I smiled. He pointed and smirked at a huge 17 hand palomino 4 year old, and said to take a whirl… said he was a crazy one, but I took up the same layout Pat used for the tour stop crazies and went through it and had the horse doing games at liberty, all the 7 games, long line driving and just having a ball with NO problems.

I was so proud! Of him and me, Marc was so happy he called the owner and had her come over, I did a demo and taught her… that was a blast! I rode a bit more afterwards on flexion and patterns and then went to walmart, we got groceries and I came home and did some pampering and resting. I am trying to get to bed early, so I will get some shuteye in to be bright tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be teaching and learning again, I am very excited. See you then!
