Although, I'd say he looks pretty good from his pictures, I guess you'll know when he's where you want him to be.<br /><br />Have a wonderful stress free move. Hope it all goes smoothly.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960487123683294937.post-24604044062175917502010-05-25T22:16:52.315-07:002010-05-25T22:16:52.315-07:00Good luck with your move!

I'm pretty sure if I would set up anything and try to teach Denali to follow me she'd be at the other end of the arena, and paying no attention to me. <br /><br />My pony, my pony is broken, broken, broken.

It is always a choice for him whether he follows my lead or does his own thing. <br /><br />Oh and and thanks smazourek!

Wearing a helmet is a really good idea but hundreds of us grew up without helmets and helmets that actually did nothing. <br /><br />A love this little quote I got from a recent driving event I went to. "You don't stop a horse with his mouth, you stop him with his mind."<br /><br />Bodhi looks really nice. Ya know if you don't want to take him all the way up to Canada you can drop him off in WI for a few years. :)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08527462761708705266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960487123683294937.post-19210045941887082402010-05-20T10:10:12.506-07:002010-05-20T10:10:12.506-07:00B- Really!

I still have a month left..<br /><br />Rachel- You must be so excited that Granite is almost ready for the trail! Big moment for you two!<br />Smazourek- I used a target to teach him to walk and the trot beside me at arms length. I added a ground pole and CR for trotting over. I then slowly added more ground poles and started turning them into jumps. I started to only CR when he did not hit the poles. He is very lazy with his feet :) Now I guess the pole or jump itself is a cue. He will see one and trot over it sometimes and turn around and look-- Was that it?Golden the Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230832980797448174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960487123683294937.post-56711862459624754862010-05-20T09:31:34.477-07:002010-05-20T09:31:34.477-07:00I would love to be able to do that with my girl!

I can't believe your moving... although, its just more adventures about which for me to read.<br /><br />I'm working... all the time. Granite has officially been in training for 30 days and Momma still hasn't gotten to ride him :( bOOO. But, I see trail riding in our future this summer and maybe a local schooling show by fall :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558668876103778821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960487123683294937.post-73814238854013247612010-05-20T05:09:50.418-07:002010-05-20T05:09:50.418-07:00You're in G-ville, right?
