Grinning from ear to ear!

YAY,

I'm so happy, this afternoon i went to work with Banjo, and we had a great time.

We're still doing only basic stuff, but basic is good. Hopefully soon i can read some more and watch the dvd, then we can do some more exciting stuff. YAY!!! I'm really excited.

Today, with Banjo we did some hindquarter yields, and attempted forequarter yields (still tossing his head), all was achieved using no more then phase 3 pressure!!!! Still having major issues backing, i think i should probably spend more time desensitizing his head.

I've been reading 'Through the eyes of the horse', by Carlos Tabernaberri, and i absolutely love it. Although his technique is a bit different from QS, i like his ideas and some of his concepts, - especially leading! After 10 minutes leading Banjo around i learnt to walk in front of him, but off the side so i am safe, just like a leader would lead their herd. And not to look back, which shows that i am uncertain in where i am going. He willingly stops at my shoulder, just like he would with his leader!!!! YAY...

I'm too tied to write more, so i'll save my drama for tomorrow night's post. A little hint though, some one is interested in buying Banjo, and i have the choice to sell him, again..... But i'll save all that for tomorrow night!

Good Night,
Lily.
