Convinced Steve to come along and made a hike of it. We went several miles and Gemini was calm until a certain point when he got very afraid. I had either a LBE on adrenalin or a RBE. I think we was a bit a both. I chose to move his feet a lot and change the game fast and furious. Sideways, over obstacles, falling leaf, backwards fast, sideways again, only a few seconds of each. He got it back together and we were able to move on. It was very interesting seeing his behavior from the ground and I know it would have been much worse if I'd been mounted.
The terrain was perfect because we were walking in a ravine and I could send him straight up the ravine wall and down into a ditch and over holes in the ground. We could sidepass easily down the trail and go backwards nice and straight.
The dogs came along and it was a nice 1.5 hours of exercise and horse training.
