Showmanship with Cherokee

So today we started with some lunging since it seems that Cherokee works a lot better once we worked a little of that extra energy out of her system. We had a lot of construction going on near our house (PG&E cutting back some branches) so we had a couple of issues with standing still BUT that's understandable with falling branches. We worked on walking and stopping without me having to pull her to a stop. She's doing very well but sometimes I bump into her shoulder when we stop (which is an issue I had with D so I am wondering if maybe I am at fault there). She's getting really good at halting right when I do. We also worked on setting up and she did pretty well with letting me pick up and move her feet around. After that I worked on getting her to drop her head so that I don't have a giraff in the ring lol. Overall a very good day for all the scary things that were going on.
