@gypsy_and_jules: It has been a little less than a month since I started working with Dove and today was monumental for us!! She let me sit on her for the first time (my BF sat on her yesterday with me there holding her and I wasn't sure if she would allow me to do it if it was just the two of us) Dove has been a challenge to work with and getting to this moment is so rewarding! She was very pushy and had some dangerous habits when I started working with her! She had been a pasture ornament with little to no handling. When she was handled, it's obvious the person let her be pushy and she learned she's big. She came to me thinking she was the boss but I made her realize otherwise! In the last week we have made massive strides! She picks up her feet no problem and stands nicely at the trailer. She has learned that she doesn't need to be running all the time and it's okay for us to chill as we learn! She has gotten so much better at yielding her hind quarters and flexing! I'm so proud of how far she's come! #horse #horsetraining #horsetrainer #painthorse #horsegirl #cowgirl
