After seeing a few other horses in high anxiety mode, I noticed that
Ayla was calm and very interested in getting out into the course. We warmed
up
doing some minor drill team type stuff, wheels, pairing off and doing
formations and some crowd control " push's ". We were at the center of the
arena when
all 3 squad cars lit up their lights and sirens. Horses scattered a bit, some
needing their riders to unmount and try to calm them, others just very snorty
and up-headed. Ayla stood her ground and kept her feet in one place. : )
You are going to love this! I joined our local posse last year and Juniper
is fantastic with most of the stuff. She doesn't really care for a couple
yahoos who will be walking behind her then suddenly gallop right off from her,
but
other than that, she's cool. Especially around the lights/sirens, flares and
all. We're doing the SAR training also. Our local county didn't offer it
when I joined, so I went to the next county for SAR training, but now it looks
like the local posse is going to include us in their SAR. So I won't have to
make a 2 hour round trip drive to complete the training!
After seeing a lot of the other horses, I'm convinced that fjordsare the
perfect horse for the job!
