And we go on...and on...and on. Part 3.
So on Sunday Skippy and Zoe went out on the canal trail. I kept Zoe in front until just past "knee-knocker-rock" then Skippy took the lead. I wanted Zoe to do the rocks in front again. She did better this time, no stopping, balking or going backwards when being asked to go forwards. I also wanted to see what she would do following a faster horse, would she have a good attitude, or head toss and buck. Granted Skippy didn't do her fastest trot, she did her medium trot. For Zoe that meant to go at a fast trot. Zoe did good. Where we fell apart was just coming off the canal, just past the aquaduct. The trail goes uphill and apparently it's fun to bolt up the hill-both of them did it. We did manage to slow them down to a walk, then asked for a trot and got a nice one. But with all that excitement, Zoe didn't buck. And we trotted alot going towards Barking Dog Hill. Still no bucks. Yay! I guess the next challenge is to do it with the 3 horses I was with last time. It won't happen for a few weeks because of some other activities happening. Part 4 coming up in a few weeks.
