Very good day. I added an outside rein and worked on transitions, whoa and turning away from me walking off. We also worked on ground tying and not moving when asked to stay. He has gotten so much better. We also did desensitzing stuff with the lunge line, lead rope, etc.. Touching all over having him stand while it comes to him and moves away from him. He took to it really quickly and stood very nicely. GOOD BOY!

Very good boy. Worked on relaxing, responding and steady gaits, smooth steady transitions. Is starting to understand what is expected of him and act accordingly. Much better with not only reacting but with waiting.

Ellie

Fit harness. Let her get used to it (the crupper, breeching, saddle and straps hanging. She took it very well. We worked on the lunge line on transitions, steady gaits, paying attention. She did pretty well, but she needs to learn to pay attention to her job and respond accordingly even when she starts getting a little tired. She had a couple bratty teenage moments but worked through it and became quite responsive and steady.

PS Thank you Hazel for helping unload all my carts and junk, Much appreciated.

Worked a lot on paying attention to me, transitions (Especially halt and standing) He is getting better about paying attention and answering when asked but I want him very solid at halting/standing and starting to relax more before he moves on.

Ellie

Worked on paying attention to me. Worked on the lunge line on transitions and steady gaits. Also worked on moving away from pressure and paying attention to where her body is and where I am on the lead line. She has a tendency to walk on the human when not paying attention.

Worked on standing in cross ties with no messing around. Much better. Very good boy for bridling. Worked in cart on not letting his head go down too far and bending. Also worked on smooth transitions without moving head around. He seemed a little stuck in his right jaw but worked out of it.
