Liberty

I had a lovely liberty-session with Nalle today, he was really with me and he gave me a nice, close circling-game at trot. Played with pressure in the shape of another horse playing with his partner at liberty in the paddock at the same time but both of horses kept focus on their partners instead of each other the whole time.

After that I put Nalle back in the pasture and took out a young horse who I started to play with today, Nalle didnt really like to be put away so that I could play with another so he ran out when I opened the gate to take out the other horse... Luckily he stayed just outside the gate since we have been doing that alot, I often take him out loose if we get a good connection when I come, so I could him back in the pasture and walk away with the other horse. But then the whole pack came running at canter (perhaps they had seen an elk) and the young horse jumped on two legs on our way down to the paddock... When we were done and I had put that horse back into the pasture Nalle was following me far as he could when I walked away and he neighed, it was like he was saying "we're not done yet, come back!". I hope he have the same feeling tomorrow when I come, there's nothing better then to be met by a happy horse! (and there's nothing more heartbreaking then to leave a horse that dont want you to leave...).
