Natural Horsemanship week 2

Kaylee's training using natural horsemanship continues.

We started this week with the YO-YO game.
Making them back up, and then bringing them forward.

Here is the rope wiggle to get her to back up.

Here Linda pretends to pull on the rope

to get kaylee to move forward.

Then, a new tool is introduced.

The Handy Stick. A good way to

desensitize while keeping a safe distance.

Rub it everywhere and if you find an "OH NO"

spot your safe to keep working. As I found out while
working her right hind quarters and she kicked out
three times. But with slight corrections with the rope and halter,
Kaylee quickly learned that the kicking would not be tolerated
and she relaxed.
