Driving Lesson #2

Brandy had her second driving lesson today. She allowed me to be almost directly behind her and out of her line of sight. She yielded to the pressure of the outside rein on her halter so that she stayed close to the fence most of the time. Her trot was well controlled, and she walked when I asked her to without me having to step out in front of her. She even changed directions twice without too much fuss. I figured out that if I could switch sides really fast she would turn so that I would be on her inside. For her second lesson she did really well. We only worked for half an hour, but it was a very productive half hour.
Chance and I worked on side passes, collected gaits, flying lead changes, and turn backs. He did better with the turn backs than he has, so I was proud of him. His overall performance was probably the best yet.
It was a very good day.
