Flexing

Well I bridled Maverik today and taught him to flex. He has calmed down ten fold. He isn't nearly as jumpy anymore and he took the bridle really well. He also unbridled calmly and with coaxing kept his nose tipped around me. He picked up on flexing in only a couple seconds and acted like he'd been doing it for years.

Next step is saddling and Ponying him around the farm with my mare to get some muscle on this guy. He has come a long way, I never thought he would.

Now Fallon is being the brat. We're still on Round penning with her because she is VERY lazy and so leading her around is still tough. She wont walk, so when I get her to she leaps forward like she was bit by a snake on her butt. Then she plants her feet as I catch up and won't move again. So I start RP'ing her to get her feet loosened up and I could never keep up to make her move in my 60' RP so I made a makeshift 30ft RP and I do Clinton Anderson (duh) it doesn't matter how hard I smack her butt with that string she still walks or does a tiny jog. She is so good at IGNORING me its frustrating. I DO NOT nag at her but even when I do get her going it is ONE stride then back to a walk OR stop.! She is crazy lol. I will see if saddling/bridling her will get her feet moving some.

Promise pics later!
