Worlds Greatest Laugh Location: North Dakota	run n rate - 2017-03-07 11:42 AM Spinner, Cheeka, and RunninCat (sorry if I spelled the names incorrectly!) ...great drills and very helpful! Helps them find their own lead change leaving the barrel when they are still collected up. I have a filly that just LOVES to catch the lead change off the first barrel. In fact, she thought it was so fun she couldnt wait to do it, making her first barrel turn wickedly quick. The only thing wrong is she is REALLY REALLY playful and would throw in a buck along with the change! LOL Seriously I was scared to get after her too much because she was having so much fun with it but I know some of the horsemanship guys would have told me not to accept that behavior. I just took my time with her and she quit bucking. I had to get off of her in her 5 year old year for an injury. Wondering what she will be like when I bring her back this spring.
