Chapter 2: Long reining 

Rosalina had been working with Kisses for a few weeks, specifically gradually increasing the amount of time kisses could tolerate away from the herd. Kisses had been excelling during their groundwork sessions, and Rosalina finally felt that Kisses was ready for his first long reining session. The goal for this session was to have Kisses be relaxed and to learn how to correctly use his body. 

“That’s it! Good lad!”, Rosalina exclaimed. “Come on, lift those legs”, “yes that’s it! Super!”. 

The long reining session only lasted 15 minutes, however, Rosalina felt that Kisses had given it his all and produced a good, relaxed frame. Most importantly, Kisses did not have any meltdowns.
