Bad Hands....

Another great work out with my Lexie this morning! We are really starting to communicate. I know her nose is out more than it should be. We are working on one thing at a time. I'm using a D ring snaffle because I was too up in her mouth with the wonder bit (bad hands, Amy, bad hands). I'll move her back to the Wonder bit when I work away that instinct to haul back when she bolts.

This girl has a bad bolting issue right now. Her first instinct when something scares her (and I'm not even convinced she's scared) is to launch like a rocket for about 30 feet.

It's hard to break habits in both people and horses. The only way to do it is consistency and time.
