Today I went to see Sandy, a Quarter Horse youngster for the second time. He must be the most laid back horse I have ever met. He is pretty desensitised to everything including body language. I also started work with Amanda on Percy who is really frightened of people and notices everything. It takes me back to the early Piper days when I wondered what on earth I had taken on. This boy is three years old and simply doesn't want to be touched at all . I dread to think how that headcollar got on him.
Fern had a saddle on for the first time today and went out long-reining on the Forest. Rosie learned how to do clicker stretches and finished off with pole work.
