Cecilia's Segment

Cecilia is one New Options' latest rescues. She is a quarter horse, mare who wasn't cared for. Now she is loved by a volunteer named Jax. This page is to show CC's rehabilitation process and achievements.

Cecilia and Jax made a huge achievement today! They trotted!

It's not in the video, but Cecilia also took one step of a canter.

 You know your horse has been rolling when....

Bridge and Target Training

Working on backing up

CC was tired.

Cecilia and Jax are doing amazing.  They are using a training method called "bridge and target" with CC.  That is when there is a person on the ground with a carrot.  They are the target.  The bridge is having CC walk over to the target.  This method is working really well.

 

                                          

                 Cecilia and Jax have been doing really well! Jax is riding CC now!
The reason why CC limps a little in this video is because she has a short tendon in her leg, but after stretching it out she walks fine.
