Who you asking to pivot?

Barn was awesome. I missed the girls so much. It was cold and getting late when I arrived. Isis knickered at me when I came in and every time she saw me. (happy sigh) I love it when she does that.

I had about 20 minutes before it got dark. We free lunged in the big ring and did walk, trot, canter. We also worked on the ground cues for pivot on the haunches and forehand, as well as back. She knows back perfectly, but when you teach something new you start with something they have a lot of confidence in. She is so smart. Third time working on pivot on the haunches on her right side and she did it perfectly second time. Amazing girl.

The best thing? I’m cleared to ride. Yay! Kasane is going to be so happy. She was bouncing around over…

  • Isis this morning

    The barn just called. Isis may be having another episode of EPM (neurological disorder), like she did back in June. She isn’t as bad as she was then, but she still isn’t “right.” I’ll write more when I know more. I’m on my way out to the barn now. Update: It’s not EPM. It’s choking….

    Recent Books on Equine Archaeology/History

    I’ve been looking for current publications on equine archaeology and history. You would be surprised what is out there! I found four books that covered proceedings from the International Council for Archaeozoology meeting in Durham, UK, 2002. It sounds like it would have been an awesome conference. Equids in time and space, edited by Marjan…
