Day 31 (May18th)

I feel like I've taking 30 steps forward and then the last 2 days 20 steps back. I'm not really sure whats going on. I've blogged alot about the good thing and trying to be positive about what Cody can do.. but I'm not really talking about our struggles. Like... back to circling game. I cant get him to go more then a quarter either way before he decideds to change direction. So basically we end up doing a falling leaf type pattern, which is not what I'm looking for. Also, we struggle with Pocupine on the nose. He hates me putting even the slightest pressure on it and tosses his head everywhere so I let go. Driving the front end is also a challenge for us. From my own judgement Cody is a LBE and I'm not sure whatelse really. Although I love working with them they can be a HUGE pain in the bum.

The reality that my fast track course in Colorado is coming, and theres only 98 days until we leave has kicked in... could this be making me focus on the mechanics and not on the relationship as I have not taped the online or the freestyle for L2 yet?? hmmm

I think I'm going to take 15 minutes to myself in the hot tub, and then hit the books and the videos and the audio cds with hope that I learn something tonight and can apply it in the morning.
