[RC] crossing water for the first time alone - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: BETH caglehead10@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I just got My Horse  back from the Trainer a month ago. The Trainer had  worked 
on crossing water with a Buddy Horse AND ponying My Horse .  I have also  taken 
this Horse across water following another Horse since getting Him back,  sunday 
we took Our First Solo Trail ride and came up to a Stream that we had done 
following another Horse, But  as everyone knows, things Look much different 
when Your Green Horse is all By Himself .  this Horse was trained with 
Resistance Free Training, After calmly getting Him to the edge of the water and 
realizing that He was not going to go in , I decided to just get off and lead 
Him thru ,  remounted on the other side and then turned around  and asked Him 
to go back thru the stream which He did . After go about our business on the 
rest of the ride, we came back to the stream again and He very calmly crossed 
the water without any hesitation .  I don,t think He would of been so calm had 
I fought with Him the first time.
