I have been enjoying working with Seyvilla on sorting the
cows. It has been really fun to work on the specific techniques and see my cues
to her get better and better each time. ‘Practice makes perfect’ and I
definitely find that true. Now I am working on stamina for both her and me.
Seyvilla will get so excited when working with the cows that she gets to the
point where she doesn’t listen to me. I want to work through that so she
understands what I want her to do and then we can both have fun in our
communication with each other and with the cows.
Yes, we communicate with the cows. Interesting, right? My
teacher said, ‘For every step forward take two steps back.’ The horse is really
telling the cow what to do. I watched my teacher do the sorting and wow, it
sure is true. You can definitely tell the professionals from the beginners!
I think it will be fun to be in a competition, but I want to
make sure Seyvilla and I are both ready before we enter it. We want to both
have fun and look good at the same time. I know the first time won’t be
perfect, but I want to be the best I can be!
The specific technique I working on now is the rollback as I
have mentioned before. I working with Seyvilla on the technique yesterday and I
think she’s really understanding it.
