Obedience

It was a nice quick night at Vesey St. Ann brought Basco and the horses were still out training in the main ring.

In keeping with my goal of avoiding any unecessary conflict between Aron and myself, I worked him with the ball on a clothespin around my neck. He worked beautifully, and I sent him for a voraus to the hanging tug to finish the first session. In the second trip out I worked him on the sit in front. The ball gave him something to focus on and I tried siting in a chair to clue him in that touching my legs and being square are the keys to success. On the third trip out I kept it easy, with some easy heeling and the voraus to finish.
