Why not let her get down and roll, and then reconvene the connection game? What's wrong with a good little roll?

[@ashleyhorsetraining2973]

Good Question! She was too close to the fence and I didn't want her legs to get tangled in the panels.
Also, I have a clear picture of what I am expecting from my horse. If I want them to roll I will give a cue for it, and if I don't want them to roll then I will fix it when they try to. This helps to keep things clear for the horse. They know when its ok and when it's not (like when it's a dangerous spot, the saddle is on, or when they are being ridden.)

@@ashleyhorsetraining2973 Very good. I'm also getting to the point where I expect full compliance from the horse for the short duration that we interact. The remaining 22 or 23 hours the horse can do what ever it pleases. A clear mental picture is excellent. Thanks for the reply.
