Played with a tarpaulin this morning and for the first time the saying "Cause your idea to be the horses ideas, but understand his ideas first" really hit me with the truth :) Previously I would have pushed Jazzy until she went on the tarp. Today however I understood she was scared of the noise, the look and the unpredictability of the tarp. I recognized she was inquisitive but not confident so we worked on developing curiosity by yo-yoing, in the end she was like LET me look AT IT!! Lol then without we asking or even expecting it she just walked over it. She pawed it and picked it up in her teeth, didn't even really stress about it. I had picked her as a RBE- but looking at how I have been approaching her I think I with my RBE personality and thinking I caused her to be that horsenality..... hmm food for thought :)
WOW- our relationship is getting sooooo strong already just from me changing my attitude. SOOO proud of us both :) I rode Jazzy for the first time today. I had sat on her back alot and she was happy with me up there but wasnt so keen to move. Today though she just did it. We started off the session playing touch it and squeeze game with the saddle and blue barrels. Soo much fun and she was having fun tooo!!!
