Thank You so much. I wish I had the time to develop everyone to L4. But I have 5 horse and F/T job and comute and a kid. I am hoping to start her in the driving lines some time soon. She is going to a 'mini' show in a couple of weeks with the kids for a fun pony day. She 's is a hoot, that's for sure!
Here are the comments from my scorecard. Just thought I'd share!
"Very nice - as a dominant mare, remember that Miyagi will hold you to a high standard so be fair but firm enough that she says "yes, Ma'am!" As her trust and respect grows you'll start to find itchy spots - she may prefer this to rubbing."
May this video be inspiration for you to grab your camera and JUST DO IT! Go ahead and tape your audition and send it in. You don't have to be perfect, especially at the lower levels. They are looking at your relationship, and your OVERALL skills. Have fun with it and relax. I am so glad I did it, and you will be too!
Nope...no going back now. I'm happy that our relationship is coming thru, as she still doesn't like to be pet much. She lets me touch her anywhere, but she doesn't enjoy it yet. Sad that it's because she never really has had LOVE before. She enjoys playing now. Loves that ball, and tries hard to please me. that's why I don't make a big deal when she gets it wrong. She thinks she knows what I want, so I don't punish for a try, even if it's the wrong try. Thanks for the encouragement!
Loved your relationship with Miyagi. Be sure to post more so we can watch it grow and become richer and deeper.
