Training Update

Monroe worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday this weekend! He is doing quite well and is responding to voice commands with greater accuracy each day. We have added the kiss command and he struggles with that a little. I think it would help if I had a lunge whip to reinforce my commands. Instead I end up chasing him around until he picks up the canter. Sunday he was much better though. We also were granted permission by my friendly neighbor to use his little sand arena. This will make things much easier on me especially when I am on call. I will still trailer him over to the arena once in awhile as it is good experience.
Here's a short video Tim took of us at the beginning of our session on Sunday. It's not great and he got better as the session went on...but this gives you an idea of what we do.

So there you have it. Not too exciting, huh? After the boys got to graze together while we finished fixing the fence. All in all...great weekend :)
