Long lining

I've started long lining Deuce and he is being very smart about it! He is starting to understand the concept, but the coolest part is that he is being very sensible, even with all of the tack on him. I started out in the round pen last weekend and he walked, trotted, halted and backed. This week I did a little more round pen work but this weekend I longlined him in the arena and in te field. He is of course a little more hesitant without the security of the rail, but he is starting to learn what the reins mean. He was expecially good today considering that he has not been outside for the past two days due to weather.


Here's a picture I took today, it's not the greatest but you can tell how big he has gotten.
