The Sun peeked out for a bit this afternoon so I worked with OYY Matisse again today We repeated some of what we did together the other day and tried a few new challenges.
The arched bridge was not difficult for Matisse. Once a horse learns to lead correctly, they will pretty much do anything you ask.
He's a bit in an ugly duckling growth stage at the moment but he has such an excellent brain.
We may as well delete this decoy obstacle from the list. Matisse found it about as scarey as his pasture mate Ozzie did.
He was impresively super with the streamer walk-through. With a very loose lead line and a soft asking -- he walked through both ways several times
Back inside to do the platform. Again, he's so willing -- never rushing. Great both directions.
next after the platform, we head for the tickle tubes.
just a "whatever" from him
Here's a short video of Matisse and the snake pit.
Too easy is my son's opinion.
What a nice young fellow to work with ! Isn't he going to make the cutest western pony for some youngster all dolled up in silver ??!

Zoe,
ReplyDeleteLove your bridge and Matisse is a wonderful. Love those curls and coat color. Yes, I can see a western cowboy on this wonderful fella.
I love Matisse's color! I haven't been around much, but I haven't seen that color before! Very handsome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great obstacle course and a great horse! Is he going to be grey/ white? He sure has a special colour! I am sure he will look great as a western pony!
