Gia - 463 - flatwork at CDP with Hayley
Gia got on the trailer much better this morning! There was still a little fussiness about her boots, and a little snorting at the truck, but she didn't hesitate when we got to the back!
At CDP today, Hayley was helping us out, and she got up on Gia first. She really put Gia to work! She sent her forward anytime Gia wanted to spook and stop. It's fine for her to be worried, but she still has to go forward. After a brief warm up, she put her right into the canter. Gia tossed her hind end up a little bit, but every time she did, Hayley sent her even more forward. Gia figured out pretty quickly that she should behave, and then she wouldn't have to work as hard.
I got up on her afterwards, and did the same work. It's a little out of my comfort zone to send Gia so fast and forward, but I could definitely feel the difference in Gia's attitude after her work with Hayley!
