Training horse- Mamacita is a super sweet 4 year old Mustang. She came in for training after losing her rider on a lope departure.
So where do we start? From the beginning. I went back through her foundation and found the holes that needed work. 1.) she was afraid of equipment specifically the saddle when loping and 2.) she was frightened of things over head. She was able to tolerate most things, but hadnβt learned to truly soften into the pressure.
Addressing these issues from the ground will help translate them to the saddle. Iβm happy to report she is doing great and much less fearful now with a rider in the saddle. What a pleasure to work with such a sweet mare! π
