Gott a Highbrow Cat mare thats hot as heck. I pulled her off the cattle and just started over with her. Everything i do with her is slow and steady, no more getting mad at her , etc. Its working out so much better now. We got a ways to go but shes really coming around. Patcience and Time.

[@WeCanHustle]

Yes exactly!! We cannot get mad at them. Im happy to hear with a new approach you guys are getting along better and she is coming around. Patience and time is a virtue.

[@housewithaview]

I would get mad too but it’s out of my frustration of not being where I want us to be. And getting mad doesn’t help her or I. Having grace and patience does.😊

Would you say that overworking that turn and losing hind end engagement is where they sense difficulty in the maneuver and want to get hot at a lope? For example my First Down Dash appendix mare will fling her body and make erratic sideways movements if I am trying to get her to lope a circle right now - since I have no arena at home and just ride in a straight line on trails most of the time. The movement you are demonstrating at the corners of your square of a 1-2 cue for turning and letting them get back straight is the key moment I need to work on to get her collected and quiet.

One focus on a square not a circle. It helps keep them balanced. Also if she flings that much maybe she is sore to make that tight turn.
