Here is the list of exercises we have finished (all of tape I):
Changing Sides
Run Up & Rub
Slap & Tap
Helicopter Exercise
Changing Eyes, Stage 1
Slap & Walk
Touch & Rub - Nose
Touch & Rub - Poll
I will be working on her not throwing her head and accepting the lead rope as a bit for a while, then go ahead and try the bit again. Also I will be lunging her with the saddle on, at all gaits. Of course she is not perfect at all these exercises, but she is definitely making forward progress. She is getting lighter on the lead each time I lunge her, also. She still hates the stick, she still snarls when I yield her HQs from the left side, and she is a little snarly when I send her off. But she is starting to stay out of my space more, and she is understanding that sometimes I want her to walk.
Dave is supposed to video me, so I will make it a "to date" video instead of just a Series I video.
