50 minutes worth!
Raining all day tomorrow, unfortunately...need to work her daily n ride my other one daily, too. Taking them to my trainer buddy's place next week.

Going to trainer buddy's place this week!

At this moment, I knew there was trouble...

I assume you eventually got her haltered? Maybe she is like one of our cats, she can read our mind the day she is supposed to go to the vet and does a great job of hiding. Other days? Asleep on a chair in the living room most of the time.

Nope.
No need other than to work her in hand.

Got two pool toys, that were on sale, to use as obstacles!

Also set up the trailer for the funday at trainer buddy's place with the 2 bigger ponies...Sheep had to inspect my work.

Caught her today with just the lead, she then ran around me while I tried to get halter on....
In hand, as if I was sitting on her, and using 2 riding crops as legs, she didn't understand to move forward. I've never taught it, so idk how to do it w/o someone cueing from the front by giving the lead a tug...
Anywho, she would back up, albeit stubbornly. Zero head tossing, though.

What does that mean in relation to head tossing on long lines? IDK

Lol

Well, she now circles or paces when I try to put the pad & surcingle on. Ugh.
Went with extreme baby steps and ultra light hands with more dramatic release & then ask for forward if I saw her try to move on. No head tossing!
She did when I tried to get her to backup once, but tried again and she did it just fine!
