Feather Lines

3-21-11 Focus of the day was 2 rein driving with feather lines. First a quick warm up on 22 foot line in the arena. A few games and then we moved right into driving with the lines. First let me say how nice and light the feather lines are. They ROCK! Then my big BFO was how light and soft Lordy was in the halter to the pressure on the lines..... WOW..... I have to say all my freestyle riding with the hackamore is paying off in more ways than one! I was very impressed and shocked to be honest. Never even thought about how it could impact our driving until I felt the difference! Lordy was so much more responsive, we got great moments at walk and trot. Figure 8's and also some beginnings of walk and trot leg yeilds in motion. He was just so much more sensitive and willing. I just had to lift my rein and off he would move in that direction. Amazing..... I am really psyched at the possibilities! Flying changes here we come! :)
