\"\"<\/a>Fancy ride in another 40 degree temperature change day..from 30\u2019s to 75 degrees.<\/p>\n

My first goal was passenger riding faster than a walk for ten minutes. \u00a0We did five minutes before she froze in place when the pigs made noises. \u00a0She did stay out on the rail at the very last two minutes before she froze in concern at little piglet noise from their pen just outside the arena.
\nNote: \u00a0Passenger Riding means human stays on the horse and horse decides where to go in the arena. \u00a0Horse always starts out making short turns or tries to go through a too narrow barn door opening\u2026she did get her head through the too narrow opening. \u00a0We had a discussion about that\u2026.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m developing a Parelli Level 4 Freestyle (bridleless) audition and rode Fancy in an indoor arena. I got slightly overheated. Poor Fancy, she was the one doing the hard work. It didn\u2019t occur to me that three arena doors could be opened along with two half doors for a breeze. Breeze is a term not pleasantly associated with winter. Plus there is a very nice usable outdoor arena at this stable\u2026duh<\/p>\n

Do not ever give Fancy the number to the Stupid Human Horse Abuse Hotline.<\/p>\n

We tried the two foot jump, but she stopped, tried to step over the pole, and knocked over the entire jump. No more jump try today. \u00a0But we did try to consistently gait and canter over the pole on the ground.<\/p>\n

We did some flying changes, but I held the reins. \u00a0Some of the changes were successful! I tried to follow Erin\u2019s instruction to use more \u201centhusiasm\u201d. I probably omitted another requirement or more. \u00a0It\u2019s difficult to remember all the million and one flying change requirements at the same time\u2026see much earlier post for detailed flying change requirements.<\/p>\n

I tried to do my plan for the audition. \u00a0Some of the hastily made up plan didn\u2019t work, even using reins.<\/p>\n

We worked on my new side pass goal\u2026side pass when my leg comes off her barrel and I assume the sidepass and head position. \u00a0Second stage is leg cue with opposite leg. \u00a0I\u2019m getting a very slow \u201cdon\u2019t wanna\u201d response. \u00a0Third stage is to use more pressure. \u00a0Fourth stage is to reward with treat and rest when a quick side pass response achieved. \u00a0We followed up with gaiting around the arena with leg yields. Improvement was noted! \u00a0We need immediate leg yield for flying change!<\/p>\n

We ended with her saddle off and a wonderful roll in the yummy arena dirt.<\/p>\n
