Another Good One!

Ive been so proud and pleased with Milo. I had another great workout with him today. It seems Im really starting to break through his stubborn brain and get some respect on the ground.

Ive been starting our workout with about 10 minutes of groundwork, and once he is listening, being respectful, and not giving me evil looks (which sometimes takes longer than 10 min), than I start our riding portion. Which begins with some suppling exercises and circling (typically). Moving into some collection working, making sure we have our stops, our leg yields, disengaging, etc. Once he is soft and listening, we work on some trot to walk transitions, consistent jogging on the straight and circle, we move up to a lope. Today we loped for a considerate amount of time, and worked on stopping on a straight line from a lope. He actually did one really amazing stop, and really sunk his butt down! HE got big praises for that!

All in all, Milo has been really good!
