I went to play with Bailey today!
In the first few minutes we had the arena all to ourselves. Bailey was nervous and wanted to move her feet. So we did some traveling circles at the trot. When she calmed down, I did a little bit of stick to me. I thought we could attempt some liberty as I did not know when I would have the arena to myself again.
We did liberty stick to me at walk and trot. That was the perfect place to take a break and do some massage techniques.
I firmly wiggled her crest and touched some endorphin release points on her face. Bailey shook herself and licked and chewed. She then asked me a question, so I decided to do some porcupine game. Bailey was very light everywhere I asked her: on her nose, chest, HQ, FQ and poll. Next we did driving game backwards. Bailey came back up almost all twelve feet without me walking into her space. In the next session we can work on refining the phases. This was an awesome session and I can't wait until next time.
