Linda

Today, Zeek had his morning lesson with Linda. It was wonderful, as it always is. I love seeing her and talking with her. Zeek did really well, again. She taught him some things about moving a horses feet individually. It was good stuff.

She also talked with me and gave me some advice and tips on round penning with Gwin. She used PJ to show me some things, and then at the end of Zeek's lesson, she used PJ to have me work on yielding his front and back with just my eyes. She also taught me about softening my handling on foot, why it works, and how to do it. I was AMAZED at what I saw when I tried it with PJ. It gave me more hope that I'm not CRAZY thinking that Gwin and I can work out this respect thing without driving and kicking and fighting all the way.

I'm looking forward to some more time with her soon. It's kind of cold and yucky today. And after two visits yesterday, I thought I'd give Gwin and I both a little rest today. :)
