All on our own

I went out with a plan today, to be a little more particular about sideways over something and to get 4 feet on the pedestal. We started with a board on the floor, with a little bit of effort Bonny managed to get all four feet on it so got lots of treats and a long rest. Next we went to the pedestal, now Bonny doesn't have any problem putting her front feet on anything, so she was straight up there, waiting for a treat, which she got obviously. It took about a minute to get her to put her back feet on as well, with lots of focus and only a little bit of pressure on the rope.
Next was sideways, I set up 5 square barrels in a line. When Bonny first saw them she snorted and gave them a wide berth, then walked straight up to them and tried to put her foot on one of the barrels, uummm no problems there then, so I asked her to sideways over them. 3 times no problems at all. 10 minutes into playing and we'd done everything that I'd planned!
We started some circles but she was looking a little bit lame, so stopped that straight away and did stick to me instead, that's going well, I can be about 4ft away from her now. Push the ball is good too.
Walked Bonny out down the road on my own, surprisingly I was feeling really nervous about this, but we did lots of approach and retreat and it wasn't long before Bonny was walking with her head down and picnicing wherever she could. The first time Rocky called to her she spooked so we came straight back, after that she didn't bother and didn't call for him at all! I think she's starting to think of me as a leader! yay
Donna had her hands full with Rocky when Bonny and I walked out on-line. She chose to have him on-line so had to do lots of circles and figure 8s to keep him thinking. But of course as soon as she stopped he started to panic again.uuummm that's going to take some working on!
No riding but for me it was a good day.
