Time to restart Beau for training Wednesdays with Krystyn at 4pm

 It was cold but sunny our first meet up

I let krystyn know that we had lost alot of our progress, Beau and I worked in the paddock great but the arena was not as good as it used to me.

What I learned today:

  • Learning to lunge him, hes senstive and you have to stand exactly at his barrel
  • He will come in if I dont remind him but using my pointer and the hands correctly to call him and encourange him to keep walking
  • His other side going to the right is still the most difficult.
  • Krystynn said that someone in his lift taught him that he needed to fight back, sort of when you ask him to calm down, or response for him to behave, he has a reaction to be bigger and to challenge with all his weight.
  • When spooked sometimes they go to you for comfort but they are just too big babies
  • Beau is sensitive to the absolute perfect conditioning
  • Kystryn has experienced some of the same things in all the horses
  • I am all set to work with Krystyn all spring if possible.
  • She thinks that the goal of getting him to go out walking, if I keep at him is managable.
  • she finds it strange that hes good in his paddock but a total pushy jerk in teh area
  • When I accidenntly use the lead lunge line to get Beau t straighten out innstead of working frhom his rear, it it a cue to come into the middle.
  • 10 minutes of lunginng for him is enough
  • Left side is Beau is his good side, right side isnt was easy.
