Amba, a 'sacking out' session at liberty

Amba does have days when she is quite spooky, usually when she's less relaxed and not as trusting. That maybe my own fault as I have at times tiptoed around her as not to upset her maybe a little too much and not taken the lead role enough. She is a high energy horse and doesn't give in easily when she is anxious. Although she is now capable of managing her emotions better now, when she is in flight mode it takes her a long time to bring those energy levels back down. But avoiding situations that make her anxious is not going to help her in the long run. This is a bit trial and error but the fact that she was able to still come to me afterwards means that she still sees me as someone she can trust. So today, in a longer video than usual, I decided to try a sacking out session, something I haven't tried before with her to this extent and had no idea how she was going to react but knowing the kind of horse she is it was pretty obvious that she would take flight at some point. I introduced her to the plastic sack before I started recording then carried on as can be seen in this video. For the most part she is at liberty and free to move and come and go as she works out what is happening, there was a lot of licking and chewing which was encouraging, not always visible in the distance. There are many trainers who use sacking out and do things different from each other as with all trainers who have different views and training methods. But again it should be what is best for your horse and staying safe and understanding how to read your horse's body language and giving them time to process everything. My cues are not always easy for her to understand and I know I made mistakes but as for the end result was encouraging as she relaxed quite well afterwards but probably a little tired too. To be honest I wasn't sure if this approach to carry this out a sacking out session with her would even help her and I may have caused her to trust me a little less so over the next few days I will see if any 'damage' has been done and focus on regaining any possibly loss of trust. What I did discover is that she had more of an issue with the sack attached to her her saddle than when it was on the ground and she still followed me even though I was waving the sack about. Although she has been saddled many times in the past as a racehorse she still had issues with being saddled and now although has gotten better but not perfect and still pulls faces but today when I saddled her she wasn't particularly bothered. It was a warm day and she has a full winter coat and is not fit so the the fact that she was only sweaty under the saddle was also a good sign. Tomorrow I will see how she behaves after today's session and to see if there's any change in her behaviour and work accordingly. I will learn a lot from this session and through watching the video back, as I can't always see what she's doing when she's behind me, and will be able to help her more going forward.
