RE: [RC] [RC] Leap(yes sir) froging - Ranelle Rubin

Ginger,

One of the "trail training excercises" I do regularly whenever I am
riding in an open area is to turn my horse into a rather large circle
away from the rest of the horses with which I am riding. We do this at a
walk., I purposely meander away from them, keeping them in sight and
moving in the same general direction, sometimes meeting up with them at
the next intersection. This teaches my horse to listen to me, despite
his herd instinct telling him to keep with the herd. This obviously only
works with open areas where you have a cooperative group. I have the
good fortune of riding with a great group of ladies who are always
looking for a "training op"...


Ranelle

What we truly and earnestly aspire to be, that in some sense we are. The
mere aspiration, by changing the frame of mind, for the moment realizes
itself.

Thanks Ginger.  We do play leap frog, ie change position leading and 
following.  He is fine at the walk.  And more often than not he is OK at
the 
trot...he just hates being "left behind".  I will be round penning him
again 
when I can (working on voice comands,transitions etc), and I do
continuously 
work with him on the ground with manners etc.  He is a good boy, great 
attitude.  I guess I need to start turning him in circles quicker before
the 
explosion...I know this is a young horse thing and will take time and 
patients.  I think we will work as pairs going up and down hills to
moderate 
his pace (with a more experienced horse who will not race).  Like I 
mentioned in my first post, JJ will do what is asked of him if he is the

leader.  Thanks for any suggestions!

Chris & JJ
