Fansee is eager to learn and eager to please. She’s starting to calm down and relax into what is being asked of her.
Because I’m recovering from surgery, I’m not using a lunge line. The goal was just to get the horses moving a little to try to keep them in shape so they’re ready for fair weather riding. The expectation was they would bolt around the arena like they usually do.
Instead, they were very calm and willing to try to understand the ask. Rather than get them amped up and rip-roaring through the barn, putting me at risk and possibly injuring myself, they were very gentle and accommodating. They do seem to know which part of me is hurting.
Horses are very empathetic creatures. My exercise time was brief and I had a day of rest. It would be nice if I could speed up this recovery process.
