A really big win today with Celeste.
We went for a walk in the woods! We did this already last summer and back then it went well. In October we went for a walk again, the thing that changed? A couple of weeks prior Shetland Pukky passed....
It was to much for Celeste. The first few minutes went well, until she had a complete error and started rearing and bucking. I didnt recognize her at all... So i went back home as fast as i could.
I havent been in a walk with her ever since. I did do 2 hacks under the saddle with her which went well (only thing didnt went well was the big open fields, she hated to much space and i think that was a big trigger).
Today i did it differently. I did the shortest route to woods to limit the big fields. It paid of. The walk went absolutely amazing. No stress, relaxed, following my rythm and pace. Couldnt be more proud🤎
I dont call it a mistake what i did last year, I call it a learning curve!
