Cassie lead Honey into the lunge ring. She was really coming on nicely, she thought. Cassie could now lead her, catch her, pick her feet up, lunge her... without any problems. She shut the gate and asked Honey to go through the paces only using voice commands. She went perfectly. Cassie let her off and allowed her to canter around freely. She did a sort-of join up with her and the little filly followed her round, letting Cassie touch any part of her body.

"Good girl, Hon!" Cassie patted the little pony and fed her some carrot. She looked over her shoulder and saw Lucy. "Hey, Lucy!" she called, walking over to the fence. Honey still followed her. Cassie laughed and patted her.

"Just put his head collar on and a lead rope." she smiled. "I'll be right back." she put Honey in her field, brushed her down and watered her, then gave her a kiss on the nose and left. She raced back to the ring and waited for Lucy.

"Okay, so stand in the middle. Lead Moonlight over, and unclip the rope." Cassie said, closing the gate as she spoke.

"Okay, now swing the rope and say Trot on! Don't let him stop, you need to keep making him go. It's a way of saying you're in charge."

I did as Cassie said and told Moonligh to trot on around the ring and she did it and after a couple of laps i asked her to canter for two laps then i called her over and changed the reign and swished the lead rope and she started walking around the track.

Cassie nodded. "Good, but you need to make her run. In the wild, the leader of the herd will chase a new horse to show him who's boss, that's what we're trying to do here."

Basically, keep her going with the rope, don't let her stop at all, just keep making her go in circles. you'll know when she's giving in to you when she drops her head, opens and closes her mouth."
