I learned that from experience as well and definitely should have talked to my trainer before making any commitments as it was not really the best experience and was quite expensive. Great list!

It's hard to let go of some of those childish dreams. It can be used as a nice stretch for the horse too if done slowly and gently, not forcing them by tying up their leg,etc. :)Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-20064932794129563992014-12-06T11:29:46.368-08:002014-12-06T11:29:46.368-08:00Oh shoot, I worded that one wrong...smiling is of ...Oh shoot, I worded that one wrong...smiling is of course awesome and I think I even documented teaching Bridget to step up onto things! I was more thinking rearing, bowing, laying down, 'counting' (pawing on cue). My ponies would find ways to use those against me!Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-34315383924274601602014-12-06T10:37:49.752-08:002014-12-06T10:37:49.752-08:00This is a great list!!!

If I teach bowing I will not do it while sitting on my horse... that just looks painful. I also probably won't teach laying down, but if I do once again I won't sit on my horse while asking him to do it. His smile trick is our favorite though. He loves it. :D Thanks for joining the blog hop!!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.com
