Georgia 2 year old Warmblood/TB cross

This is probally one of the most talented horses that has come through the program. She came to me with a bit of ground work done with her, she had been saddled and bridled but never ridden. Her training stopped there. Georgia was a bit spoiled, not mouthy or looking for treats just in your space. This filly needed a job! She went to work almost immediatley, always excited to go to work, but still a bit impatient. I did start her just like I always do...hobbling, ground driving, sacking out, she seemed to remember what she was taught in her previous training. Riding the filly for the first time was the fun part, as I expected she rode nicely. She seemed to be naturally balanced so teaching her to go correctly was the easy part, going quitely was the hard part. Right away I took her out to the 300 acre hay field and we went to work. Georgia likes to go but seemed to want to look at everything, so it was stop and go, and side to side for a while until I could get her to slow down and look at the forest instead of each tree. Once she started to mature a little bit her work ethic only improved, she would see me grab the saddle and start to paw and winnie...she loved to go out. Once she started to figure out how to carry herself we started to do more flatwork than just hacking down the trails, more work on correct canter leads and departures, collection, etc. Her impatience had slowly dissappeared. This filly is just about at the end of her 60 days, and has matured into a nice horse. I have just about a week or so left with her until she goes home to be turned until the spring. In 60 days this filly has come a long way from first ride to start correct lead changes. More to come on Georgia before she goes home. The biggest problems I had with this horse was her impatience and getting her to slow down and pay attention, please comment if you have any questions on how I dealt with these issues.
