Training

I practiced with Dory the mini horse today. We trotted in, slowed and then halted, attempting to square Dory's feet.  We asked a "judge" to walk around Dory to get her accustomed to that and for me to know when to move to the other side--when the judge is by her tail.  Dory did a fine job of jumping a hurdle.  It was hunter jumper class so we didn't want to get in the way.  We might try barrel racing.  I have a strategy.  Have Dory between the barrel and me on the first barrel so that she will be on the outside on the other two barrels.  Then bring her home.  No idea what kind of obstacles will be in the trail class.  Dory cooperated beautifully today and enjoyed a walk around the farm.  Photos;  Dory and my stand in barrel partners Pudge and Maui
