Hey, that's great:). I've thought in the past with most horses, that the second day is always so much better then the first. I have to remember that when working on something new. Once they even get close on the first day, you stop and let them think about it. I think the stopping is the key to a horse catching on to what you're wanting them to do. IMO, they really don't want to work:), so when you stop as soon as they do what ever, they remember that:) and are ready to do it quick the next day.

I agree. They feel that as soon as that's done, "put me away so,I can go back to my favorite past time...eating!" The old pick up the pace, on the way back to the barn trick.
