Follow your master at Liberty - Nora (10) and Elle (nearly 1) - 8 May 2023

This coming yearling mini filly named Elle was purchased by/for Nora (10) about a month before this video was taken. With me working with and coaching her on a weekly basis Nora (10) is training her yearling mini filly - the very first horse she has ever trained.

One week earlier Nora (10) got Elle to begin to follow her master (with no lead rope) and stick with her a few steps. At this coaching session Nora got Elle to follow her master at Liberty (no lead rope) all the way around the Round Pen in both directions and began working on getting her to follow at a trot. Basically working to make the mini responsible to keep itself in the proper position relative to its master - and working to improve its understanding of what the "perfect" position is so that step by step (by Successive Approximation) it learns to do better and better for longer and longer.

Note that the coming yearling filly is NOT wearing a halter - it can choose to stop and eat grass - it can choose to go somewhere else within the pen - but it is instead choosing to follow its master. Likewise we must choose to follow our Master despite many things tempting us to do other things.

Remember to read, study, and ponder upon God's word each day and also pray each day to find out what God needs you to do today and then do it. And have a blessed day!!
