Well Jigsaw, AKA Jig, truly lives up to the red mare name. She’s definitely full of sass but has made great progress over the last month.
After settling in, we got to work. I’ve outlined some of her strengths and “needs work” goals below
Strengths:
-easy to catch
-leads and ties well
-standing for grooming
-cowboy curtain
-loading/unloading from trailer
-bridges
“Needs work”
-fly spray
-backing up
-walking/trotting poles
-side pass
There are still things that are evident that we need to work on but all in all progress has been great. These next 4 weeks I’m sure we will see a huge leap in progression so the next update will hopefully be a lot more detailed on the strengths and a lot fewer items on the needs work list. For a first time trainer doing this by myself with a bit of guidance, I would like to say this horse would do well with an experienced horseman but under the supervision of a trainer. She is too young yet to do any saddle training so when that time comes, I would advise always working with an experienced trainer to help you and the horse for the best possible future outcome for both of you.
Jig won’t be available for adoption at the event but seeing all the support there would be incredible. Thank you for taking the time to read and follow along on this journey we are taking.
