He was wiggly and busy, but pretty much paying attention. The dogs were up and back and around, He did want to pick Woobie up by the scruff at one point. I would say the thing we needed to work on today was not rushing down hill. That is where the backing up hill came in. Whenever he decided to rush, I decided to stop and back up. It slowed him down, we only had to do that about 5 times.
He wasn't even too impolite about grass snacking. I did give him a few moments, but only when told he could. After all he had just climbed a pretty good size hill!
I tried my Fluidity saddle today (English) but I used the leather girth. I think I will go back to the neoprene girth on the Wintec, Just didn't want to make it tighter and we were rolling a bit, I even look kind of crooked in the picture.
As we pulled into my driveway I asked him to go a different way than Karmen, which did give him a bit of concern, but he could see her the whole way and she meet him at the top of the hill, so it was very successful.
Successful all the way around. Looking forward to more!
