In July, we went to camp with our trainer, Ellen Eckstein for a week. Ellen and Katie A. helped Paloma learn that she could canter on the right lead! We went from pitching a fit and bucking and rearing to having a pretty nice right lead canter! It was a big breakthrough for both of us, as I learned how to hang in there and not give in when she gets worked up - Katie is my role model for riding what you get, and staying firm, but always being kind and trusting the horse. I'll add video when I figure out how to edit it for the blog, meanwhile, here are some pictures.
