I'm going to try that out with my quarters. My mare is getting better and better at maintaining a respectful distance while I lead her but I think this exercise would really benefit her.

I will maybe give this a try today with Bodhi. It is always fun to have a new challenges to try and test how well my cues have generalized. I like how she is keeping the free horse away and still paying attention to your cues! That shows emotional control. Also my little man is so submissive we have a hard time working when other horses are free because nobody respects his space and I end up having to do all of the policing. So there is the up side with working with a grumpy pony mare. Looking good. I will maybe give this a try today with Bodhi.
