I know this is in reverse (sort of) but you have to remember, us older people don't learn as fast as you young ones!Hope you enjoy our journey (me and Apache)
This is the first day I am able to work with Apache since my ankle injury. Put him into the round pen and began to move him with the “red stick”. He wasn’t real sure what was happening and we had to put kids in strategic places outside the round pen to keep him moving. His focus was on eating grass at the edges of the pen and looking for his friend Sadie Mae. However we managed to run him for a while (he has lots of energy!), my husband had to come in to lend a hand because the temperature was so hot! He had not done total Join-Up® but we were able to catch his lead rope and attach another one to it to allow him some room without feeling threatened. He actually led pretty good for his first time. He doesn’t like to be rewarded with a pet on the nose or forehead , he nipped to show his disapproval for that! We worked about 3 hours total together today and then let him go back to eat.
