Short session with Maria today. We worked together to tack her up and she responded well to two people this time. I worked her quickly with many changes of direction and finished with backing and yielding of the forequarters. She is crossing her front legs in both directions now. Good with bag and rope--really letting her have it now. A little fuss left when the rope hits the saddle.
Maria lay over Maddie from the bucket and hung on to the saddle while I asked Maddie to move off. She danced for the first 10 seconds but then settled and started to relax. We repeated on the right side, which was a little more difficult. I felt confident once Maddie started to give to the bridle and bend. Maria said she felt great!
