Scout gets more practice

So, yesterday my friend Molly came up with me to stop and visit with the horses and then we headed over to my cousin's for lunch. I took Scout out and she did fairly well with that. I only had to remind her once to not barge ahead! I took her in and out of the cones in the arena and she followed nicely. It's good to see that she is making progress. It isn't that she's bad...she just doesn't know what to do! Now that I know what to do with her, that will make it easier for me to be consistent with her.

Scout starts extra training!

Ms. Manners will start some training tomorrow! Phew! I really need help with Scout and a trainer comes up to the ranch every Tuesday to work with the Pasos. She will help me to make sure that Scout leads properly without barging ahead. I know, I know..I should have worked with her on this before now. But, with a back injury, I just didn't have the strength to work with her! Even now, just taking her up to the round pen puts a lot of strain on my back and it is exhausting! So, I need some extra hands to work with her! I am so looking forward to this and I'm sure Scout isn't! Ha!
