I went out to work Abner today, who was a total mess. I spent about 30 minutes trying to clean him up, and finally got most of the mud/dirt off of him. I put him on the lunge line and he was AWESOME! He was very full of himself, but for good reason! He did an amazing extended trot, his headset was very nice. (This extended trot was totally unasked for- he felt good enough to do it himself!)
Tried to take a video, but my phone was dying. :( I'll try to take one when I see him tomorrow.
We also did a little bit of walk work, practicing going through "weird" things without running/jumping/becoming upset. It took a couple tries to get him going over the tiny puddles (for all he knows, they could be neverending!) without panicking, but he quickly got over it. We did a little bit of hill work too, but I didn't want to overdo it.
I was so proud of him today! He got a good grooming after his workout as well. :)
