Pretty cool today. This morning I decided to try again to lead Billie around. No problem. She led just fine! I tried it again this evening, and still no problem. I can lead her from either side. She still wants to crowd my space some when we halt, but we'll work on that. I read an interesting description: I need to imagine a hula-hoop around my middle, and Billie needs to stay out of the hula-hoop. I think that will be a good visual for me.

Now that she leads in the pen, I need to get brave and lead her out of the pen and into the yard! Yikes! Guess I'll comb the ground again and just be certain there are no bad obstacles for horsey feet!
