The thing that a lot of people don't remember about backing is that it's a forward movement. Which sounds really confusing, I know. ;)<br /><br />But the way Chris Irwin explains it, you set your hands for a block -- not pull -- and ask the horse to move forward so they shift their weight forward to take a step. But since you have a block set up, there's no exit for them, but to go back. Looks to me like that's happening, so top notch!<br /><br />She looks like she's coming together. It takes time. I know Mitch has improved vastly from the horse he was when I bought him, but he's got a long way to go too. Keep at it, and I'm sure Shy'll turn out really nice for ya.Leihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503579118629251506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-1882254665273234212012-03-11T21:01:50.405-04:002012-03-11T21:01:50.405-04:00Must be another wonderful Haffie trait :)Must be another wonderful Haffie trait :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02168070368360018750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-57459099557250609382012-03-11T21:01:20.677-04:002012-03-11T21:01:20.677-04:00Awww, thanks!

I rode Kaspin today in the awesome weather and he too was great! Congrats on Shy today she really is aiming to please. Kaspin loves to please as well:)Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526076493821209436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-51192550964194193362012-03-11T12:46:31.426-04:002012-03-11T12:46:31.426-04:00Shyloh is so freaking adorable.

Beth is a lovely rider & it looks like she's doing a great job with her. The more work she does the more she should loosen out on the right, but you're absolutely right to get her teeth checked out again.Martinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496995504975297110noreply@blogger.com
