Day 1 with a Roller! Not a care in the world lol👌😎

26/02/2018

Over the last few days I've been working with Cash on- pressure on the girth area, walking off on voice command and pressure of where leg will be positioned under saddle. Also flexion, one rein stop and voice commands for halt, walk and trot.
Today was his first day with a lunge roller on and he didn't bat an eyelid!
He was not phased by it being on nor it being done up a little tighter in intervals.
Such a smart cruisey big boy and he's only 2 1/2yrs old 👌😀

Another Ripper day doing more training with Miss P.A out in the open paddock today after a little cruise.
Such an amazing girl! You honestly can't get much chilled than her, taking everything in, yet still listening to what you're asking all the time. Not one bit of nasty(buck, rear or bolt) in this girl from dot. Worth her weight in gold in my opinion 👌

A new milestone achieved today stepping Miss P.A out to her first adult riders rally and 1st time out riding in an open arena!
Very proud of her and the trust she had with me today 😊
A big day, as there was also a freshmans jumping and cross country event on, so some new activity for her to take in, but overall, apart from being very forward and sweating like a trooper lol, she did amazing!
A lot of compliments on her beauty, cruisey nature and how well she did, so all in all a fab day I'm really pleased with! 👍😀

Today I took Miss Pollyanna to my adult riders club for some exposure to another environment.
Cruisey as she is and didn't really bat an eyelid to her new surroundings, cows next door, motorbikes and the other horses, maybe the lush green grass had something to do with it haha.
Gave her a lunge on the arena and did ground work to bring her focus back as she decided to become an Arab, full high hocked prancing trot and tail straight up as she could see the horses out on cross country (wishing I had video of that, she looked amazing!)
Ended the day with a stroll on the XC course and popped her over some jumps on the lead.
Overall another great experience for her that she took all in her stride 😊👍

After finally getting a new saddle that fits Pollyanna, we got our second ride in under saddle!
This girl is as cruisey as they come.
Slow n steady, more whoa than go. Maybe a tad on the lazy side haha
Riding bitless in a halter as well.
Once she's going, she's got a big powerful trot and nicely balanced even this early on.
Very happy with today's ride 😀👍
(Note: in video I am not hitting her with the rein but smacking my leg to encourage her forward with the snap sound, as she was being a little lazy and not responding to my voice or leg pressure)

So we've advanced to the next stage and have introduced the stock saddle and started to prepare her with pressure when mounting on both sides.
Pollyanna was so well behaved and stood still during the whole process.
Was able to mount with stirrups (on ground and mounting block) and lay across her back on my tummy.
Unfortunately I ran out of time to go any further, but my main objective was to get her comfortable and confidently standing still during this session.
We are On the right track!!

Success with her first bridling today!
Pollyanna Willingly opens her mouth for the bit and has a play with it in her mouth but no dramas!
(I'm Using a warmblood bridle and can only just do up the nose band lol)
Took it on and off a couple of times( making sure not to hit her teeth with the bit) and then left it on for 10mins. Good third day in training 😀

After a few months off due to my Achilles' tendon healing and having some shocking cold wet weather with limited time for training, I've now brought PollyAnna back into work.
2 days spent with her doing basic groundwork to get her back in tune with things and today I introduced a saddle (lil kids one) and started mouthing her. She is an amazing girl, willing to learn with a cruisey attitude and took it all in her stride!
Very balanced on the lunge and understands voice commands extremely well. She's so ready for a rider 😃👍

Hard work and commitment pay off in many ways!
Cash and I attended the Victorian all breeds foal show and he was sashed Reserve Champion part bred Clydesdale!!
It was a huge day and he behaved himself beautifully, although a little tired at the end for us all.
Never give up on your dreams, as the results of your hard work always pay off no matter how long it takes! You are always a winner if you're giving things a go 😃
