Played on the 45' line again today. May need to go back to the 22' to play with more changes of direction/transitions before playing on so much length of line. The quality/shape of the circles are improving on the 45' line. Lots of offering to sideways over things and do what she's learned so far of the Spanish walk. :)  We're playing with more porcupine game now, following a feel with her feet and leading by the jaw. As our stick to me improves do does leading her from various points on her body as she already wants to stay with me so following that feel to be connected is a natural part of the process. Leg looked pretty good, a touch swollen but she was able to walk it off.






Me hanging out with Aspen in her stall while she ate lunch :)

Aspen looking for the perfect spot to toll after a romp on the 45' line.  Had a great time playing with her today - super left brained, had some nice circles and sideways. :)


Found her perfect spot and down she goes! :)
