Donkey eared Magnum boy!

Cues are a necessary evil

Tonight I worked with Cassie on her lead, just some simply transitions and send offs in a small longe. She’s a smart cookie, and works hard for a “good girl” but I noticed over time, her transitions to the left from the right were amazing but her transitions from right to left were subpar. To me, this makes sense given her vision issues and their prominence on the left front. I was focusing on a grounded step back when I wanted her to swap directions and then an encouraging hand sending the way of going but realized, on the transition to the left I need to add a word. She tends to float in space and is not near as rounded, as well as her hesitancy towards sending off that way.
