Yesterday was a great day for me in the round pen. I intended to get a surcingle on Lucy, the pinto hinny, and introduce her to driving. I could not come close to getting the surcingle on her. I was hot, tired, and impatient. I was ready to give up and call it a day.
Amanda went into the round pen and properly, patiently, calmly, desensitized Lucy's girth region, put the surcingle on her and within 1/2 an hour the hinny was responding beautifully to being driven.
Few things make me happier than seeing one of my students succeed at a task at which I have not yet been successful.
