Q3 progress, Q4 goals
Q3: Polly comes home!
Reinforce proper leading: check!
Negotiate turnout situation: mission accomplished, she can go out with either Fetti or the Gypsy pony or both.
Cross river with me on foot: cake.
Ponying around barn: check.
Ponying into the park: check.
Ponying with trotting: check! Rejoice!
Fly spray: half-check. She’s still not solid.
Picking up feet: meh. Needs way more work.
Fly mask in the dark: needs more work.
Basic round pen skills acquired.
Q3: finish up autumn, early winter rains.
Continue ponying into the park as weather allows.
Acquire basic long-lining/driving skills, including wearing saddle pad and surcingle.
Sneak peak: I suck at writing posts, but we’re making baby steps.
Learn about headlamps. Accept they are part of life.
Solidify backing off verbal or halter cue.
Continue work on polite hoof-handling.
Fly spray work continues.
Into park solo via the highway? Sort of a stretch goal.
Longer/zoomier rides as daylight allows. Poor Fetti is bored. Getting out, but boooored with our inconsistent trails.
