Well Basically the gate problem is pretty much solved, were finally starting to get in some good trot strides again. Far from where we were but Better then a few weeks ago.
Anyways!
NEW PROBLEM!
Number 1:
Well now she wont stop at the gate, but when going along the short side faceing it she will lower her head and get real heavy with her head and usually doesnt bring it up till we pass the gate....... SO ive tried nudgeing her, see sawing of all things on her mouth [only did it once cause I hate doing that], Then I tried just holding my hands steady still she brings it up.. Well The nudgeing kind of works but it hasnt solved it yet, along with just hold my hands steady.... its tiring :P
Number 2:
When I ask for the trot now when we just past the gate the first few times she flips her head then tail swishes then goes off with her head high for a second [BIG ATTITUDE ALERT!] After about 2-3 times of that she will usually give me a nice transition.
SO I need some advice on those to minor problems. Im more worried about #1 then #2..
THANKS!!!
