This 6th month was one of the busiest on the farm and I didn't get to spend as much time with Enzo. But, I feel like we were a little more productive in the little time we had. Every session ended better than it started, and I think this is what count the most.
During this month, this is what we focused on the most :
- Going for walks, meeting and being petted by strangers, vehicules and dogs,
- More tarp desensitizing,
- More liberty lunging, first circles at the trot,
- Learning to jump the cavaletti (this was funny, lol!),
- Standing to be fly-sprayed all over and accept a fly mask with velcro closure,
- Stand on pedestral, walk on elevated wooden surface (will be great for trailering and learning to go on bridges later on),
- More trimming and caring of front feet, touching the back legs,
- Learning to get hosed,
- Standing to be tacked up calmly without bolting away,
- Rein cues, including bending at the poll, direct rein, and neck reining.
- First sit on his back, first step with a rider, first dismount all the way to the ground.
But mostly, it was about spending fun, quality time together and strengthen our relationship.
