Lovely hack for Eva and Edie on Lime and Jack. We stopped for pics in the flower field.
Still feeling ropey so rested this afternoon then back to the yard for feeds. Had half an hour in the school with Indy working on getting him comfy round the mounting block again. Been watching some vids and it was suggested not to mount every time you go next to the block so you do not create the expectation and this means the horse can stand quietly next to it. Although Eva did get on him in the end, she spent lots of time just getting up, leaning over him, scratching his neck etc then just walking him away on foot. Then getting on and off again. At the end of the session he stood like a statue. She did a couple of laps of walk on a long rein and we called it a day. Hopefully we can build up his trust some more so being next to the block is a positive experience and he doesn't feel the need to move away every time we try to get on!
