Your food sounds wonderful. I will pray that you have a safe and relaxing trip, and hope you have fun. Sage trusts you, and I think this will be a great experience for you both. Just remember, if she gets worried, get her feet moving, moving, moving. Take care and God Bless Lea!!C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849393342737666986.post-68226719298255514862012-08-22T08:01:44.452-07:002012-08-22T08:01:44.452-07:00I'd be a little worried about sleeping on a co...I'd be a little worried about sleeping on a cot too. But I still think you're so lucky to get to go!<br /><br />I'm glad Sage has you and Marilyn dedicated to her training. She's such a great horse. So I take it she's going on your trip with you? That's going to be a great learning experience for her!Andrea -Mustang Sagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576342393431178404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849393342737666986.post-24422068992843706612012-08-22T07:51:17.064-07:002012-08-22T07:51:17.064-07:00Sounds like a lot going on.
I'm going to thr...Sounds like a lot going on. <br />I'm going to throw something out here, and it may apply and it may not. I have one horse who has those "bad days". It can be very annoying. He is not afriad of fly spray except on those days when he is. He has no problem with his feet except on those days when he does. Just about the time I say, wow he is really coming along, he goes crazy on me. My trainer showed me a trick, and it works on all my horses. I stand next to them and make them move sideways away from me. I force them to cross their legs and we do this for no less than 50 feet then we turn around and go back from the other side. It is physically challenging, although not impossible by any means, but more it is mental. They tend to try to back up but I stop them and if they try to shoot past me I stop them. I put my hands up and use my energy to push them. Sometimes a small push on the neck with the flat of my hand or a tap on the belly with my training stick. We do it fast so they only have time to think about that. When we are done the rest quietly with me, and they realise that resting with me is much better than stepping sideways. You should see the way they are licking and chewing by time they are done. After that, fly spray is nothing, and neither is anything else. I don't know if this will help with Sage or not. But thought I would throw it out there anyway. So please take it for what it is worth. <br />Good luckCindy Durhamhttp://herdlife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849393342737666986.post-35580288006255959422012-08-22T07:33:01.176-07:002012-08-22T07:33:01.176-07:00Wow, busy busy!
