Occasionally when Fancy gets to run around the arena at liberty or on the 22\u2019 rope she gets exuberant. Her tail sticks out behind and she gallops. Many times she will turn in and face me and do little rearing hops. \u00a0Today, she turned, faced and did some big rears. \u00a0She was impressive. \u00a0She also bucked a few times when running. While she was in her exhuberant state, \u00a0a dog came running into the arena behind her. \u00a0Fancy jumped straight up. \u00a0All four feet left the ground at the same time. \u00a0I\u2019ve seen only two other horses do this. \u00a0It is almost the same as how a deer jumps. \u00a0The \u00a0Lippizon \u00a0Stallions do something similar in their Spanish Riding Demonstration.<\/p>\n

Fancy has athletic talent galore! \u00a0(P. S. \u00a0This is not Fancy)<\/p>\n

Later we were dragging a large cone on the end of the 22\u2019 rope around the arena. \u00a0She has been trained to drag. \u00a0We stopped, turned and faced the cone. \u00a0I started dragging it towards her and she was frightened of it. \u00a0She walked up to the frightening cone and stomped and stepped on it till it died. \u00a0That has become a ground exercise now. \u00a0I remember something like this as a level 2 or 3 Parelli task.<\/p>\n

Day 3 of Question Box Pattern<\/p>\n

Yee Haw. \u00a0We continued the Question Box Pattern. \u00a0We did walk, flat foot walk, fox trot and canter transitions. \u00a0We could not canter around the Question Box circle. \u00a0Fancy did not want to make the turn in the middle. \u00a0It was too tight a turn for her and she won the argument. \u00a0We cantered on the outside of the entire Question Box. \u00a0It was not pretty. \u00a0Once while I was urging her to canter down the rail, she did pick up her hind legs in protests.<\/p>\n
