Think I found the plot again, with the help of my friends!

Thanks for your support people and horses.
Cam was again just telling me I wasn't a good enough leader - I'm adding the 'yet'!
Today I had a different horse to yesterday - totally LB again...hmm how interesting. I watched her furtively in the paddock and she looked so LBI. So we played the catching game, I approached zone 5 and she was watching me but still grazing, so I crouched down and crept up and as she still didn't move I tagged her. She instantly turned and came to me, and stuck to me all the way down the hill into the arena at liberty, even though I tried to 'lose' her! The others then came galloping in bouncing around but she still stuck...

I decided I need to improve circling and her responsibilities to make riding easier, having read a few Q and A on the website. I also realised I haven't been progressing the number of laps...I knew it but hadn't 'bothered' to do anything about it and now it's showing big time. So we had a play with 'don't make me pick up the stick and get you to change direction' if she changed gait - wow what a difference, I had an attentive exuberant soft bright eyed partner!! I decided I need to be more assertive when she is confident so she can rely on me when she is less confident, so we approached and retreated to 'scary' corner which interestingly was nowhere near so scary today....the other thing I did was cause her to do something if she took her attention off me in the scary area, so she 'couldn't' take her eyes off me...she didn't take her eyes off me in the non scary area as I'was being assertive and mixing stuff up so she didn't know what was happening next...

Ooh she teaches me so much! We were figure of eighting in the scary area as that calms her and she was really trying, then she thought she'd add a variation by popping neatly over the cones, and the cones are the tall ones almost 3ft high! She really tucked her front and back up and made such an effort so she got a carrot for that.

Feeling better today... :)
