De-spooking Clinic

I'm behind on posting, but only because I've been doing so much with my horse! We did a de-spooking clinic last Saturday, and Halo was great. We spent a couple of hours in the morning going through all the obstacles on foot, and then we rode the course (timed) in the afternoon. I didn't really take part in the timing aspect of it - I wanted slow, steady, and accurate to be our goals. She didn't refuse a single obstacle! The only ones we didn't complete were carrying a board around a barrel (she doesn't neck rein, so it was hard to hold onto everything at once), and sidepassing over a board (because I haven't taught her to sidepass under saddle yet). I'm so proud of my girl!
