Leadership

I think it's possible that Scottie's previous refusals to move on the trail were behavioral in the way that I was not spending enough time with him, therefore he didn't really view me as leader.  When we went out with another horse that he did not know, he could not be sure they could lead either.  I've been spending more time with him plus he likes and respects Gem, so taking him out with her encouraged him. Fun ride with an awesome student.  em had a grand time splashing in the water, right near the edge as it was very swelled from all the rain.
