15th November, 2010 Beaubells



This morning it was off to do some leading work with Bluebell who has not only grown upwards and outwards since I last saw her, but she has also made brilliant progress. Now turned out with
two much bigger horses she will be caught in the field and loves having attention and being groomed. We started training her to be tied up today by slipping the rope through the tie up ring so that there was really a human on the end of it, and occasionally asking her to step forward following a pressure from the line. Once her owner is satisfied that there is very little risk of her pulling back, she can be tied up to a bungie type tie up or partially cut through baler twine.
It was also back to Beau who is being caught easily and co-operating well with his owner now that he has a few boundaries.
