Day 2

Another great morning of training under our belts.  Did a lot more desensitizing to a rope being all over and around her.  She tried to nip me a little when I rubbed the lead rope around her flanks but that was the only thing that bothered her.  Picked up all 4 feet without any trouble at all.  Never offered to kick or pull away.  Taught her to lunge in hand and she caught on fast.  Took her out into the real world and introduced her to all the other horses, goats, donkeys, chickens, geese and dogs.  She leads better than most old ranch horses now.  Tied her up to the patience pole and taught her how to stand quietly even when I was acting goofy and trying to make her set back.  I know we are going to have days in her training that aren't as easy so I am really enjoying her now :)
