5:39 PM, UDT in the rain.
Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Yes, I know it's Wednesday and I'm scheduled for a session. But, it's rainy and disgustingly muddy, plus Lady has been having a lot of closeness issues with me.
Every little move I make causes her to shy. She's very sensitive and spooky and there is a chunk missing from her right hip. I'm not sure what happened but I decided we needed a UDT session today.
When it's raining, Lady stays under the shelter. So, when I went out there I walked out into the field and she followed. We ran around for a little while and she seemed friendly enough, very playful! She stuck with me while grazing and I worked on mirroring her as she shifted her weight and walked around. I walked beside her on both sides and she didn't show any issues like she did during out last session (Issues: not comfortable with me standing on her right side) and overall it went really well. Tomorrow I'll do it again and if she seems calmer and more trusting we'll have a session on Friday.
I'll work on 10. tonight.

It's not about disposable horses;
it's about relationships for life.
It's not about quick fixes and artificial aids,
it's about savvy; true understanding and expertise.
It's not about winning and others losing;
It's about win-win: you and the horse need to feel good.
It's not about me me me;
It's about changing the world for horses, becoming a person of knowledge and influence, and sharing what you know.
It's not about fear and doubt;
It's about unconditional love and trust.
Love for the empowerment of others and trust that you'll never ask the horse to do something that would hurt or diminish his dignity.
Reveal your horse. Discover your potential. Live your dream.
