Gia - session 29 - Gia gets to join summer camp!

I have summer camp going on this week, but despite how hectic it is at the barn, I still managed to get a session in with Gia.  I used her to demo young horse training, and, specifically, long lining.  The theme at camp this year is "The Circus", so Gia will fit right in!  I did not do the clippers with Gia today since there was more commotion than usual due to all the campers.  Adding the clippers would have most likely been too overwhelming, in addition to everything else, and Gia would not have gotten as much learning done.  I did instruct the campers to sit and observe quietly, and Gia did not seem bothered by the extra audience at all.  We reviewed walking, stopping, turning and trotting again.  She did everything perfectly, with no problems at all!  She did not get her tongue over the bit once, and was not fussy about anything.  She still pulled down on the reins, but again, that is no big deal right now.  We ended the session by long lining back into the barn.  And all the kids got a chance to come up and pet her - something Gia really enjoys!
