Took a short bareback trailride today together with a friend and her horse, it was really windy and I thought "hmm this is going to be interesting". I also brought my new kid stick so I can get used to it faster.
The wind bothers Nalle abit, not that he gets spooky (even thou I thought he would, I have to realise that my horse is growing every day), he just dont like to get the wind in his face. So walking towards the wind he was shaking his head and tried to walk abit sideways to avoid most of it.
The really nice part of the ride today was that he really payed attention to my energy, I could make a halt with just using the energy or laying the stick down his neck. That helped me become braver, I can trust my horse bareback when it's windy and he pays attention to me even in that weather and with his friend walking away from him when we stop with energy. I could feel that we were one unit today and that felt good!
After that I helped another friend trailerload her horse and it was fun to compare that horse to Nalle. Either Nalle was really hard or Im a totally different person now, what took Nalle 2 weeks to achieve took one session for that horse... Interesting, it's not about the trailer!
Now Im watching a webinar with a dutch trainer in the art of riding, a woman called Marijke de Jong.
