UGH!! I had Drill Team practice yesterday, like I do almost everyday. We were doing great. Blu's been working in a hackamore until I find the right bit for us.
Well....all of our training went to waste after Blu decided not to stop at the gate. He hit one horse, ignored every cue, reared, and acted like a total retard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats just an itty bitty tiny summary.
You guys I can't take it! I cried. I sat there and cried while Blu was acting stupid. I've had it. If he does this ONE more time, I think I'm done. We've been doing so good. His headset has been great. His lope has improved so much! And now this happens 'out of the Blu'. Today we don't have practice but I'm going to work with Boo anyways. I'm getting help from a friend that raises and trains Appaloosas. She's gonna let me try her Sweet Six to see how Blu does with a bit and noseband.
We literally took five GIANT steps back. I won't be able to carry a flag with the small amount of control I have. But worst of all, I probably won't show in August....
