This is the third article in Abbeys training journal. After working on his back in the round pen for awhile, I've decided it's time for a bigger place. Now it is time to move out to the large sand ring. There are many distractions out here, other horses (everywhere), and just a huge space in general for him to work in compared to the 60 ft round pen. He actually did quite well, there were other riders and he walked and trotted around without problems UNTIL we got near a water puddle!!!!! This took time and patience, I first had to get him through it on the ground, he certainly didn't want to get his feet wet!!! But with a lot of patience and perseverance, he finally figured out the puddle wasn't the end of the world. Once he was in on the ground I had to get him in on his back. This was a bit of a struggle at first, but he finally decided that he liked the puddle more than my pressure. Over all, he did well, at this stage one needs to sit quietly and let them walk around and get used to things, but also know when to react when they are doing things unnecessarily (like stopping at the fence line to chat with a new face).
