2012 End of the Year Achievements

It is almost the end of the year and now it is time to document the goals we tried to accomplish. These are also updated goals to see how they improved as well. To see our Summer 2012 Achievements click [here]. Lets see how we did!

•Leads are not a problem (Although, nothing is perfect!).

•Ava can pony another horse.

•We roped a real cow (although, she did shy away from the flash of the rope. But we still did it!).

•Can almost fully neck rein at each gait (this was my favorite goal).

•Rollbacks are good but could still use some work.

•Desensitized to pulling items off the fence as well as putting them back on (this was a big one).

•If she has been on break it takes a much shorter time to get back to where we were (another big one!).

•We successfully rode out into the big fields, far out there as well.

•Handles other misbehaving horses much better. They don't influence her as much anymore.

•Speed of gaits have much improvement. She's learning that faster is not better, no matter how scared she may be.

Overall she mainly matured into a nicely well behaved horsey.
