I finally got to use my new Parelli bareback pad tonight. Renegade wasn't too sure about it at first but after I got it on him correctly I think he liked it. He just naturally collected himself and trotted and cantered really nicely on line. Then I hopped on and we played with go/whoa button. We did great!!! He was stopping off my seat and going off my smiling cheeks!! He could really feel me and I could feel him. He was being soft and light. Woooohoooo...what fun.
Now if I can just get cantering in the saddle and more trotting bareback we'll be making some progress!!!
Oh yeah...drum roll please.....I went to get Renegade out of the pasture and I let him out at liberty. He came out the gate and turned around and waited for me!!! We went together at liberty to the play pen and he TROTTED through the car wash!!! And...as if that wasn't good enough...after our play session in the play pen we went back together to the pasture at liberty at a trot and when I opened the gate and asked him in he trotted right in!!! Of course he got a couple of cookies for that.
Grinning from ear to ear tonight!!
