I've been working with Nova most of the on Showmanship but Haven't tried much work with the pivots. I couldn't figure out how to show her how to do it. Well today I tried out what a friend told me (pretend your teach to back from an angle and just move the front end). Well at first she tried to turn into herself and not just turn with a straight body. After a alot of trial and error she does it awesome with a few reminders but I'm slightly facing her. This was in a 45 min session. She's pivoting on her back left foot and can do a 360 turn withouth moving it most of the time but if I try to stay facing forward without touching her she seems to move her butt more. Frustrating! lol
Also in showmanship do you only pivot turning away from you or towards you as well. If you are to turn towards the inside how to you train them to do that?
What do you guys think about her. She's only a yearling right now and I've never shown her yet. Do you think she'll work over for Halter classes and showmanship?
She knows how to bring herself to a low headset but sometimes when we back or pivot she looks uneasy (prolly cause we're still learning together). I'm assuming that she'll get alot more relaxed as we go along with this. She's a pretty laid back little filly as fillies go.
