I Have Unlocked The Creative Side
Chase was brilliant today. I'm so proud of him. :D Level 2 is SO much fun. So-we picked up the pace today. First off-we played the circling game, but fixed my micromanaging behavior of watching him circle me all the time. So I stood in a passive position. Took a couple of times to get him to keep going, but he's smart-he caught on really quickly. Then, I took it up a notch-tried walking and circling. I had to adjust my pace a few times and change my direction before he realized that the game wasn't walking beside me outside of my space bubble or walking behind me. The arena was slippery, which was good because it forced me to focus on his mental fitness, not his physical fitness (one of my flaws is that I like to see the pretty horse run and buck around). LOL. oh! Gotta go-I guess this is part one-I'll finish it up when I come back from work lol.
