My wife and ASPCA rep Maria came out again today, although this time she spent most of the time watching. I warmed up Maddie with minimal groundwork and hopped right on. She is really moving out nicely in the trot now. Just a few days ago it was a full time job keeping her going, but now she can go and go without any reminding. If anything, now she is thinking about rushing forward a bit at the trot. I did not do a lot of canter work, but did some good turns on both leads.
We took her outside and Maria hopped on to ride her up and down the driveway. Somebody drove in during this and Maddie did fine. She is just getting quieter and quieter all around.
We worked together at some trailer loading and really got her to like standing in there. It should be no problem to load her on Saturday for her trail ride. Can't wait!
