Mikey: clicker commands: back, 4 cone series, lift legs, yield all quarters, head down (moderately successful), come to me, whoa (needs more work on this). used no halter this time Going to work on asking him to keep a leg raised for 5 seconds. worked on separating the two requests about a. yield haunches vs. b. lift hind leg only quietly and small.
Plato: walked 10 min. cavaello boots did not fit him (he is 1/4 inch too large in the toe), lots of brushing, shedding (good) gifted him with salt block and left him treats in his new low bucket so he would have to "find" the small salt brick, made him yield all quarters 4x
Duchess: lunged; stretched pretty good both ways in trot (to my request via the line); made her canter 2x on right lead in a 30 m circle; very good about transitions
Lily: watched Adelle ride her: she dared to stretch at the trot and Adelle and her both were surprised and she suddenly came back up as if to say oh, no, this is not the real me! Adelle had to stop her and shut her down temporarily because she got into a fluff about it; I went out and did the trust technique with her; she sniffed me again(!) and came right up to me and then I sat down on the ground in front of her, near her and she fell asleep above me (would not graze). I slowly rolled aside and stood quietly and eventually she began grazing. I also did some T-Touch on her neck and fronts of her shoulders. See where she has flies gathering and working on making a summer sore on her so I will address that tomorrow (Swat).
