Ok, been a long time between posts. But I was brought a new pony to start, she's a sharp looking mare and I am really looking forward to starting her!
Started today with groundwork.
Lotsa different trainers call it different things, but basically it is all desensitization. When Sissy was dropped off Saturday, I did a scaled down version and today I ramped up the pressure a bit. I want to make sure that she can handle what I am going to be throwing at her in the coming weeks. She did really well, not much fazed her.
The question to ask is: can I touch her just about anywhere and with just about anything, or does she blow up?
As I said, not much fazed her. Which is a testament to the work that her owner has put in from the start.
