Sephira
Much nicer day today. Groom/shower and play peacefully on line in the ring in the shade.
Friendly we are confident and not tense. Porcupine--back up I think she knows and is more willing, HQ is the best, FQ--i.e. turn on the haunches--she is finally getting the idea to keep her weight back and get good crossing steps. Driving--she will pretty much hide the hiney from my body language and much of the time do it with nice crossing leg yield. (I figure why not--she surely knows this stuff.) Driving backup ok--get a few steps--not much energy. Lots of dwell time in between all of this and Sephira seemed glad to get out of her stall and hang out and get treats for the best stuff. We also played the circling game--lunging to her. She is picking up my ask vs whatever is traditional?? Low energy to begin and I loved how she made upward and downward gait transitions so easily. Ask verbally, lift the stick as needed for upward, lower my energy for downward transitions which she prefers. We also played with sticking together matching gaits. Also changing direction and redirect
Try: day of rest after chiropractic--we walked together a little outside, brush, hang.
