Faith came in tonight very much with a ‘right what are we doing tonight?’ attitude, which is great. I gave her a lovely groom, and did a little bit more work with her feet, and she was excellent. Then we played another game of ‘Hello Mr. Rug!’
She was ace, after about five minutes, I could place the rug over the stable door with a fairly theatrical gesture, Faith would step back calmly, then immediately step forward and target the rug. Woooohooo! I am still holding off using the clicker, but she seems to still be getting the idea of what I want her to do pretty well.
Tilly and Tommy were getting ridiculously excited as I was working with Faith, so I did some targeting work with them as well. I went and fetched my spangly cheerleader’s pom poms, and after about five minutes of targeting, Tilly and Tommy were happy to have them rustled all over their faces!
My horses are blimmin' fantastic!
