This morning I played with Ruffian first. Ruffian had lots of energy so first we played with circles with obstacles and changes of directions and then we played with jumping single barrels at different speeds, walk, trot, stand still etc. Ruffian did really well and seeks the barrels with lots of enthusiasm!
I wanted to teach something new to Ruffian so I decided to try sideways at a trot. Ruffian did well and I had to make sure not to put to much pressure on him because he can loose confidence very easily when learning new things. So we took our time and slowly but surely Ruffian started to get the idea. After a couple tries Ruffian trotted sideways a few feet so we ended there.
Ruffian hung around for a little while before heading down to the corral. The horseflies were already starting to get bad so I didn't have a lot of time to play with Prince but we had a little bit of time :)
