Focus on softness, willingness and small circles, without argument. Fancy wants to drift toward either end of the arena while,I want to do 10 meter circles. When I can get one 10 meter circle without an argument,I’ve won. When we do these at a trot she tries to do a poo up flying lead change and change directions argument even though we are not cantering. Fancy lives to rule.
I’ve changed slightly more. I will handle the argument with no arguing back to her. I keep my strong focus on where I want to go. My shoulders are straight and even, aligned with my belly button setting the path. I have enthusiastic core muscles.,,I’ve taken charge. The key is the shoulders straight. Learned this 150 years ago during a xxxxxxxx cli
After I got circle at the trot using foot cues, intense circle with straight shoulders, we have a reward.we try furious things and now we are read for canter. The canter must be strong, not give out at a magic place of Fancy’s desire. A strong focus still results in her trying to do a lead change in any location of her choice. Once we get that annoying behavior finished, she does well. ,if we are trotting, we move up into the canter and starts again with a stronger body behavior by Fancy, we can start. When my body is the ruler, we can do flying changes.
This is new today for me. I’ll tackle the slow progress every day and get the lead changes. Houston, we have a plan!
After we are done with one flying smooth change in both directions, Fancynis fed treats and put in her stall. I most up. I feel like crying but there are interesting things going on that need my supervising, thus, I can’t lose control. Flying changes are possible for me!
Luckynis at Erin’s to get into and be able to treat Hope safely to those trails..
Ihad a few circles where she obeyed and didn’t argue. Now is the time and holly hell’s bells, we got one. The next one going the opposite direction happened even though I used the wrong leg to signal beforbinwascready lo and behold, two major gifts of fling lead change was
