Wednesday

mostly dwell--just a few minutes of concentrated liberty. We started with draw and pick me up for sticking together--she crowded me so we started over and she fit her withers under my hand BUT it would have been better if I drove her away and then started over instead of stepping aside. Then we stuck together and she did not leave. Then sideways away was ok and I asked from intention for sideways towards and she started to bring her front end so I drove that and asked again and she sidepassed nicely to me. Then we began the circling progression and in a couple minutes I could stand still and she would circle me at about 6' away at the walk and trot. This was an easy day to build relaxation and confidence before dressage lesson tomorrow.
