I hauled Lady and Sadie to KenLyn stables today and L met
me there. I had to get off and lead her across and have L help push
her but got Sadie to cross the 'creek' (don't tell Sadie but it was so
dry this year that only a few sections of this creek have pooled water
so we could have gone around) I have really been wanting to work
with water on Sadie and this was a great crossing to take a nervous
greenie across -- nice footing with no squishy mud, and too wide to jump
across
Once we got her in and she waked across I turned around
and led her back and then through again to really reinforce the "see
this is no big deal" theme.
Success after riding another 2-3 miles in a sort of narrow loop we came back
that way and I was able to ride Sadie across following Lady. Sadie
seemed pretty proud of herself for going through all the trees and
crossing water etc. and I gave her lots of praise and horse cookies.
She is a fun horsonality.
