Lil Rio in our current riding paraphanelia ....a brown bridle and D-ring snaffle bit with copper rollers (for her to play with). |
|
Lil Rio and I walking. Rio is learning to round. |
Notice how asymetrical I am (due to one leg slightly longer than the other). My current riding is focusing on learning how to apply my aids correctly and separately. |
Lil Rio and I trotting. She's really starting to apply herself and round at the trot now. |
|
Lil Rio and I cantering. Rio still canters on her
forehand. Therefore, I really need to learn to keep my shoulders back. |
|
These are our canter to trot transitions. Rio
is still on her forehand during these transitions. |

Just some nice pics of Rio. |

The last four pictures are of Rio trailer loading in less than five minutes. The tap of the crop on her hip is her "go forward" cue. Rio has been willingly trailer loading for the last month with the help of clicker training. You can see how she is remaining calm. |
