May 1, 2018
Rode Duchess in a lesson: main objective: rhythm and relaxation; some work over poles (horse shoe) Canter flat. 
long lined Duchess in large round pen.  got her to obey the line and bring shoulders out. walk and trot

Lily: lunged her in her home paddock. She is very very sensitive. Worked a lot on "whoa" response.  Walk and trot.  Nice horse.

Mikey: brushed him; did just about everything with clicker he knows: back, quarters, leg lifts, whoa! (he stood and I walked a gigantic arc around him! GREAT); he followed me back to the gate this time.  did not do head down this time. also had him target my tennis ball and he agreed to lift his nose (like a giraffe grazing from tree). he is better about letting me use whip on his body.
