With this crazy weather, I haven't been able to do much with my new horse.
At the very minimum, I want to do some ground work with her this weekend, so I'm trying to come up with a list of exercises. So far I have:
Leading her forward
Turning left & right
Backing up
Spending time in cross-ties
Grooming
...what other exercises do you all suggest? She's pretty easy to handle, I've pretty much already done all these exercises with her except turning right.
What do you all do with her horse when the weather is bad? I'm worried that if I dont' work with her at least once per week, that she will unlearn her training and become difficult to manage. She's pretty much an angel now; very submissive and eager to follow.
