over at the Diamond W Ranch on Feb 13th. This was a great clinic, as it was the first time Joe worked with his Mustang for the Norco EMM Trail Challenge that is coming up in May. Eric learned alot and found it amazing how the smallest little detail can make such a big difference, and was ready to try out some techniques on Iceman.
On Thursday, Eric started out the morning with Iceman basically from ground zero, pretending they had no previous connection and worked his way up from there. Iceman has still been difficult for others to catch, so Eric was most excited to try out a few things in the Round Pen to polish up that area while focusing on pressure and release. In just 20 minutes the results were perfect as Iceman was focused and completely approachable. After an hour or so, Sharil decided to step in the Pen with Iceman and try her luck. Eric explained the process to Sharil and after a few minutes she had the hang of it. Iceman never took his eyes off of Sharil, listened to every command, and for the first time she was able to walk from one end of the pen to the other and catch Iceman without any hassle. It was perfect. Again, it is amazing how you can gain a little bit of knowledge, tweak something in the smallest way, and get really huge results. This was a great day for all parties involved, especially Iceman.
