Float training with a little extra pressure and this girl took it all in her stride.
Had to work a little harder to keep her mind on the job, but it was a great way to see if the training was really working.
When the pressure increases with different sounds, sights and environment, the wheels can quickly fall off with horses becoming anxious or not having their mind on the job.
That's why it is so important to have a solid foundation starting at home, and if things do start going pear shaped, make sure you go straight back to the basics and how they have originally been trained.
Patience is the key and trust in the process.
Have been in Yarram today, and tomorrow heading out Newry / Heyfield / Toongabbie.
