Thursday....A little late posting this, but will post the last 3 rides today.
If Star has much time off, she tends to fall back into old habits and comforts. Meaning she slips back into her reation mode for most cue requests. So, we worked on "slow downs". I would ask her to do a controlled stop at a walk. Then we would speed things up to a trot and ask for the same thing. All the while trying to get the same controlled reaction she gave me at a walk. Most of the ride was spent going slow to a stop and then speeding up to "go slow to a stop". She was better at the end than at the beginning, as she should be, but she needs more wet saddle blankets.
