From Trainer Haily Chitwood:
Me and Padme have been in a rough patch recently. We have learned that we can pull back and get away and some other teenage antics.
We got her moved to a pen with the stall barn attached and we're starting to get some really good work in!
Today we worked on touching everywhere, grooming, yielding hind and for quarters, fly spray, tying, picking up front feet, haltering and leading and not rushing gates or running.
Its been a lot of 1 step forward 3 back but we are getting there and she has/ is teaching me a lot.
Padme will be available for adoption at the Dakota showdown in Lennox on August 22-23!
