Mon task oriented

Today, in the mood to get liberty done, I was really task oriented and I could see that on the video. Also I could see Try's reaction, which then made extra work for me to get results.

How interesting!

Round pen is set up in paddock. Camera mounted on car--covers most of the area. We have filmed numerous times.

Plan:
1. figure 8
2. pedestal and extreme friendly
3. sideways to and fro 3 barrels
4. lead by hocks and tail
5. stick to me
6. circling game

Plan: set up round pen and place for camera--each time we play film until we get the 6 tasks pretty good in less than 10 minutes.

Liberty Audition Questions – Julia

1. Yes yoyo and stick to me can be the same game. Yoyo important to show equal amounts of to and fro. (note as games 4-7 are built on games 1-3, it is possible to combine games)
2. Squeeze alternative: send allow bring back way of going—maybe over cavalettis and turn and face??
3. Or squeeze between you and fence,stop turn and face
4. Teaching spin: drive zone 1, spin on HQ, use circling game and back up (like back/toward to change direction) then instead of change of direction keepin sending zone 1.
5. Circling game: imp to stay neutral don’t have to who 6 laps
