I had an interesting conversation with Ian yesterday and he said a good way to build a relationship with your horse is to walk alongside him with your hand on his withers. In other words play the mirror me game.
So to get out of the mud we played the #2 game up and down the driveway. Its quite a long driveway and at each end we stopped until he realized what game we were playing, it was also a very long point to point. There was lot of licking and chewing at both ends. I am going to make a program for the next 7 days to do this. Too cold to sleep out and need to change from UDT. Grade 1/10.
As it looked like it was going to rain decided to have a quick ride. Rode with one rein and lots of fig.8s. Challenge to walk between poles on a straight line not easy with one rein. Lots of backup and sideways.
Darn it started to rain. Don't want to get my nice new Parelli saddle wet.
