Hi guys:
just wanted to share with you one little trick i
discovered.
both of my horses were a bit unnerved at ridecamps
because of all the flagging tape everywhere, marking lanes and
whatnot.
After some frustrating high HRs due to ribbons
everywhere, I had a moment of enlightenment!!!! I could run flagging tape
all over the place at home to get them used to it!!! Maybe obvious to
some, but took me a few years to think of this.
It was hilarious at first. I put up 40 feet
of the bright yellow caution tape by the watering tub. My younger Arab was
racing back and forth, never getting any closer than 30 feet from it.
Within 1 day, they are both very calm around blowing tape and I am so
happy about this. I can hardly wait for Rainbow Ride in Merritt, BC this
weekend.
Tawny & I are trying her first 50. Should
be a great day!!
Happy riding!
