Savvy Challenge No.2 - 'As little as possible'

Today I tried the next challenge: Set out 4 cones or barrels, can you weave your horse through them up and down TWICE in walk, without using the stick? If this is easy, try the trot!

Easy ;)

He did great again, did it in walk twice no problemo, then in trot both ways again :D I picked up the stick once in trot, but he knew what it meant and i didnt have to do anymore than lift it up a little.

Also today we played with the jumps and I was also trying to get him to yoyo back and wait longer, without eating or trying to come in. we managed 30 seconds.. sounds small but its aaages for a speed hungry extrovert!! Did the same with sideways.. sideways a few steps then stop and wait for the next thing, rather than just hurry over for a reward. I think he started to see rest as a reward too :D

Thumbs up for today!

Savvy Challenge No.3 'Take the time it takes' - an easy one.. or is it? Spend half an hour observing your horse in the field or stable!
