Good girl, Josie!
Next was on to round pen work, with review on moving her shoulder and hip with a cue and keeping her head out of Shayla's bubble. Compare this with the video in the previous post and you can see a big difference.
Much better! She's getting really nice pivots too. Then we moved on to another first, loping under saddle. This is the time when, if they are so inclined, they will buck, but I think our slow approach is paying off.
She is really settling in to her work routine, I think the light bulbs are coming on (grin). She still has her reactive moments but they are becoming much more manageable and less frequent. We keep in mind she is still a baby and don't worry too much about it, just keep the structure of the lesson going and she figures it out.
We finished off the lesson with a review of getting her to come to the fence for mounting. She really picked that up quickly.
Overall I'm quite pleased with her progress.

Josie is going to make an excellent perfect horse for trail riding, or what have you when all her schooling is done! She has a really nice nature!
Josie is so pretty and a good mover too...fun to watch:)
She looks good with your saddle on, so grown up. Still got lots of time, might as well take it slow and right, she looks good though.
She's doing great!
Way to go Josie lookin' good. Happy Thanksgiving Shirley. Hug B
