I don't know. I'm trying to teach her something here. And I can't teach her unless I allow
her to make mistakes. That's true.
See, she's moving all the way over here can't amount to any good for her. Look how far she
came when I let her make the mistake of coming all the way over here.
She's still not in a very good position.Not bad, but...oh there you go.that was sweet.
There she is. That's a girl. There. That's what I wanted.
That's turned loose Yep
And to me, all that was worth the time and effort because it should get to be less and
less of that thing going on OK
She shouldn't have such a hard time deciding but there's a lot of history involved here.
A lot of history. We don't know what happened. Who knows what happened. She knows and she
remembers. She's pretty rigid. I've put pressure on her
poll and her head has come down so far and then she won't give.
She's having trouble lowering her head. She's worrying some about me back here too
There's a little bit of a sigh, some chewing here. There. That wasn't bad. She tipped her
nose toward me. I'm going to take that. But every time I catch her, i'm going to try to
get her softer and softer, and to bring her head down, and to put it in the nose piece
of the halter. See, she's gotta leave. That troubles her.
But when she got that far out, she felt that rope. And she came back to the feel. I didn't
have the slack out of it like i'm fixing to take the slack out of it now. She should come
right there. There. Good girl. Like I say, just the feel of that rope hanging down, she
feels that. She's tethered. Ground tied, so to speak.
Is she leaving or is she just anticipating that when that rope goes around her that you're
going to want her to turn? Yeah, that's anticipation AND escaping away
from that rope on her rump. She's doing it so softly, it does look like
an escape. Yeah, but what we'd like to see her do is
to not be...we want her super sensitive...but we don't want her so sensitive that we can't
do that and have her stand still. I'd like to be able to...I'm going to support
her here...I'd like her to be able to stand this because that's going to determine whether
or not she's going to comfortable about my putting the blanket and saddle on her. If
she can't stand this, then she's going to have a hard time with the blanket and the
saddle. She's looking at the post lady down there. You see that all the way down there...that
little white car pulled up and she noticed that.
There. That was pretty nice. See, I took the time to sack her out, so to speak, and supported
her. See if I would have had that support there, she wouldn't have had to leave til
I asked her to leave. So without that little bit of support, she had to rush through it.
She's learned a lot of things through escape. And a lot of times when they learn to do things
through escape, it ain't worth 3 rotten eggs. Because sometimes you aren't doing anything
and they escape through what they think you want and that can sure enough get you hurt.
Especially if you're not thinking what's going on.She was leaving there. The rope was on
her rump but she kept going out to the end of that rope, but when she got to the end
of it, she felt it. I didn't hold her, didn't pull on her. she felt the weight of that rope
and said 'oh, I gotta go back and follow that feel back'
I want to say 'ok enough of this'. I'm not going to rub your nose in this. There. That
was good. That's the best she stood for that flipping without support from my other hand.
And I don't know. This side may not be as good because I'm standing on her off side
see. although that rope is over there on the on side, i'm on the off side
This rope's pretty heavy. It's falling pretty hard. There. That was nice. There. Sweet girl.
Nice. That was real nice. Good job, darlin. I wish I'd have filmed that the first time
you did it to show the difference.
