Today I stuck to my plan and played with Blossom during the lunch break of the course, we only had about an hour so we started online playing with:
1. Extreme friendly games in all zones
2. Porcupine games from tail, hind legs and chin - these are now all going really well
3. Yo yo over a pole - we haven’t played with this in a while and it showed!
4. Sideways over a barrel both directions - getting good!
5. Circling game with transitions, change of direction in trot and canter.
6. Figure of eight pattern and Weave Pattern.
I then mounted bareback and played with circling around a block and today was really good as I didn’t have to make many corrections. So this was a massive improvement for us, so I didn’t want to play with it for too long. So we played with the weave pattern so I could practise my steering from just the string, to start with it wasn’t very pretty. But she really got the idea very quickly and soon we were trotting through the pattern, she was so good. So there is hope still that one day she may be a games pony - If I can do the weave pattern which is the same as the bending in games in trot bareback and bridleless I think there is a really good chance!!
