Sephira was lovely until I wanted to mount and kept moving as I tried various approaches. Finally enough is enough--went to round pen. Sufficient free lunge/changes of direction/not completely full out for her safety until she was ready to come to me/stick with me and follow me like a puppy. Went back to mounting and she stood still then took a step as I was mounting. Correction given then easy ride. She started out nervous both the step and walking--but we walked until she relaxed and then trotted a little. Then played with mounting several more times until we got it right.
- I loved her trot
- I felt successful in attitude adjustment
- I felt successful in winning the mounting issue
- I felt successful in reading her confidence level
- I felt successful in helping her relax
- continue mounting block
- what's in it for her?
