A JOB T
O DO:
Another day of RtR today…Why is this such a good game?
Well, a job to do gives us a plan/goal and what that creates is a great focus on the job. This helps me to not fiddle with the reins, micromanage the horses head or wander around aimlessly. It also helps her to relax, connect and trust me.
We rode a really lovely medium walk around the field and covered a few hillocks which stretched her legs going up them (she often trot/canters up hills which seems easier for her so walking is a good muscle builder). It also allowed us to practise riding on a loose rein and for us to get more in tune riding straight lines without using the reins.
