Day 2

So day 2 of Laura boot camp! Her emotional fitness was put to the test today. Chiclet pretty much went from very introverted to very extroverted in a blink of an eye. Poor Laura didn't know what to do when that happened. She was happily playing with the left brain introvert and I could see the naughty left brain extrovert starting to show it's face. I helped get back to where we are happy partners again. I'm hopping that Laura understands what happened when she played online. It was very interesting to watch how much Chiclet would give to her for free and how much he would make her really think hard about. He really tested her today and I did have to kick her in the butt to ride. Riding went well just took a lot longer then for her to get what she wanted going to the left. Going to the right she got relaxing and stretching really quick and got a good feel for what it's like to have to horse totally supple and with you back up and using his whole body. It looked awesome! I got on for a few minutes after just to show Laura how it looks from the ground. Chiclet was right there for me as soon as I got on, he really is my horse.
