Magic - 7/16/11

One of the things you notice (or should notice) when you start young horses is that sometimes you rush them a little to much.  One of the things I noticed in Magic yesterday was that she had a hole in her right side.  Meaning that she was not as flexible or comfortable going to the right.  So I went back to the ground today.  She is very uncomfortable going to the right, so I directed her between myself and the fence (direct and drive) until she was comfortable with her claustrophobia.  She still needs a lot of work with this, but she is better today than she was yesterday.
