Job 39:19-25

19 “Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? 20 Do you make it leap like a locust, striking terror with its proud snorting? 21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and charges into the fray. 22 It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; it does not shy away from the sword. 23 The quiver rattles against its side, along with the flashing spear and lance. 24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. 25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’ It catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry.

Day 79: Cone Control

today I decided to work on Reece and her sending in a more refined way. Instead of just having her switch directions I walked about 5ft. Away from her (to the side of her haunches) and had her weave around 4 cones that I wad set up near a fence. In order to do this exercise you need to be able to maneuver both the front and back end of your horse with out having any physical contact with them. I have done this exercise with her many times but I wanted to make it a cleaner and more…….pretty looking maneuver. It took a few times but before long she was listening well and I barely had to tilt my head to control where she went. I was very proud of our achievement that day and we both had a lot of fun getting to maneuver her easily.
