Leche is getting outfitted with her own gear so she doesn't have to borrow things at WSS. I found a local shop that makes and customizes rope halters and ordered two, one in a more clinton anderson style and one with a custom noseband. I also tossed an extra leadrope in my SmartPak order when purchasing her supplements.
The rope halters and lead arrived the other day and they look so pretty! Leche was spicy. It seems now that we've resolved her tummy issues her personality is showing through more and more.
In this session, the goal was to calmly go over a pole on the ground which did eventually occur! Reports are:
She's spicy and has Questions About the Way Things Are. But she's very smart and inherently kind. She likes going to the left more than the right but did hop over the pole in both directions.
K met with the trainer who works with all her babies, Robin. Robin and K are in agreement on goals to achieve before I pick Leche up. Namely: get around their obstacle course, lunge, wear a bareback pad. Robin additionally wants control of body quadrants. Both agree that the progress so far is encouraging. Most of the attitude seems to be from a young filly who may have been allowed to get away with shit, but nothing that can't be resolved with consistency.
