Walked with Rhulain this morning for 2.0 miles, then hopped in the saddle for the last half mile. She was a little spooky at two spots, but nothing too bad. A quick reassurance and we were back on track.
Only downside today - I had looped her lead rope off the hitching post. When I started to walk off, she tried to follow me and found that she was tied. She pulled back and before I could get to her, the lead broke. *sigh*
I grabbed a new lead rope and tied her off again. This time I walked backwards away from her and since she held still, I came forward and praised her. Did it two more times just to be sure she got the lesson.
Going to miss that lead rope. It was definitely my favorite.
