Drifter sure is coming along. He is so easy to work with! Can't say enough about the good mind on these Driftwood bred horses. Worked on my cues for transitions on the longe line; he is making me think! I had to really plan my changes of direction cues to get the smoothest changes. He will give me 110% so I try to scale it back to 100 % by being more subtle in my cues.
After longeing I bitted him up a couple of times both ways but I feel that isn't what he needs. So I did a little bit of side walking reining. He is getting so tall it isn't easy to do this!
After that I did a little rope work; I sure do like how he handles that. He may have a future as a rope/ranch horse.
With good weather predicted for the rest of the week I should be able to make lots of progress- and get some Gussie rides in too.
