We took a bit of time off training over the past week because I really needed the break and had a lot on. But today Teddy and I went out and did a refresher of our work. Apart from Teddy playing up for a few minutes with catching (didn't last long at all) he was fine, but kept wanting to eat grass.
We went through the catching game; lowering of his head; touching him everywhere (he still has a thing about his muzzle being touched but he is improving); stopping on command; backing up (much better this time around); yielding front and hind quarters; the friendly game including the whip lashing around him, under him, behind him, over his face, neck, back, legs, bum and not moving; whip above his head and behind him like a helicopter and him not moving. Pretty much it was all easy if not boring for him. So on to the next phase we go.
Unfortunately the horsemanship trainer I just started working with was rescuing a horse and in the process broke her ankle so she will be out of action for quite a while, so I need to do some research and get to the next level on my own.
I'm sure we will be fine.
