Mckenna Merrill That's great news!  Is this the mare with the bit issue?  It sounds to me like you're on the right track and I'll bet it won't be long before you have her figured out.  All four feet on the ground is a win!🤠👏

Mckenna Merrill Can you explain what you mean by offended?  What are the behaviors? 

Tammy Waldron it sure is.  Nice to see you this week!

Jackie Thank You!

Amy Busch Ok.  It sounds to me like you're getting it figured out.  Nice work!

Amy Busch. I have some of that rope.  I'll try to get it on the website today so you can order one.  🙂

Amy Busch I think you're on the right track, but with a horse with a history like the one you described, it could take a while.  Maybe try turning her loose in the round pen and teach her the Code first while she's loose.  Let her make the decision instead of trying to force it.  I would definitely get her standing up and travelling soft before you move on.  If she'll brace on the ground, she'll do it from the saddle too.  Have a great day!🙂

They're very handy.
