Have a safe New Year's Eve, everyone.
I borrowed the title of today's blog from my youngest daughter's favorite book, The Pigeon Wants A Puppy. It seems Spice took a liking to our lab puppy, Sunny. I hope Keith likes dogs! Ha Ha!
Savannah's plan today was to work on trotting at the same speed and loping at least a full circle with Spice. (Spice has a hard time with her right lead and will lope about half a circle before she breaks gait.)
The warm up- trotting:
Then into a lope.
More loping:
Pushing into a lope on Spice's sticky side:
Back to a trot:
Spice is doing great!! She would rather trot than lope and can keep up a nice pace. Savannah decided to take a break and walk through the washes.
Next, the barking, running, lab puppy obstacle.
OOHHH!! They're almost the same color! Sunny told me later that she would like a pony.......
After Spice sniffed Sunny, she wasn't concerned in the least with her.
Back through the wash:
Savannah set up the feed barrels into a barrel pattern and trotted Spice around it. Her leg cues are getting better each day.
Another successful lesson. Spice is tired and all too willing to stand tied, quietly!
wow Savannah Spice is doing great! i'm sure Keith is thrilled!!! i've been awful busy for a few days but got caught up today. your mom is doing great at documenting too!!! can't wait to see "Luna goes to Boot Camp" in a couple weeks ;)

ReplyDeleteKeith's going to leave Spice here until the 9th so we can work with her some more.
