220. The importance of never giving up!

Today as part of Spice's ongoing training we decided to hack Spice out again with her leading in front and i am pleased to say it went extremely well. Predictably Spice attempted to stop leading the way and try to go behind within the first 10 minutes of the ride but after she realised she wasn't getting anywhere she soon gave up and for the rest of the ride was as good as gold. I'm feeling more confident than ever that we can stop Spices napping when it comes to hacking out in front or alone. So as long as she doesn't get another injury so we can be consistent with her training i can see her getting over this behaviour within the month. We haven't yet had to use a whip, a bit or any other kind of contraption on her to make her go forward which is great - just leg and voice seems to have done the trick. :)
