Double Fun

I have not blogd for about 10 days due to Big time Spookiness. Whilst we have still been playing, it feels like we have not progressed. But wait maybe we have. Because instead of giving up or doing the same old same old we changed the game.

Whilst waiting for Buzz at the gate Shaun came first. This had happened a couple of times last week and i took him off and played, but this only added the Buzz's distress. So yesterday i took them both into the roundpen. What fun that was sending them both in a circle, it was so funny watching Buzz keep trying to bite Shaun's bum. Usually its the other way round.

We progressed to playing the stick-to-me game with two horses which was so much fun. When we stopped Shaun would get confused and squeeze through like a tube of toothpaste. We manage to get one complete circle, the three of us together.

We also played "piggy in the middle" could i get one horse to be with me while the other horse circled. You have to be so smooth otherwise the horse in the middle gets worried also had to trust that the horse on the circle stays on the circle. Lessons learnt for this game, quick release, how soft can you be and still get what you want. For my horses, its your responsibility to stay with me or if i ask you to circle to stay on the job.

Great fun on an awesome autumn day.
