1) For my second independent component, I plan on applying training skills that I've learned through my research on my horse without any assistance. This will give me the chance to test what I've learned, and find/improve on any mistakes that may come up. Since my horse Leroy is already trained in the basics, I will focus on refining his skills, and possibly teach him new skills.
2) My plan will meet 30 hours because I go to visit Leroy everyday, and plan on working on training skills with him at least four days out of the week. Working with him will consist of riding, lunging, and groundwork, which would give me at least 30 minutes of work to look forward to on every work day.
3) My independent component 2 plan relates to my EQ of "What is most important to becoming a successful western horse trainer?" because it will let me experience first hand how to apply aids and techniques without assistance. I will also learn how to handle certain situations that may arise, such as the horse spooking or miss behaving.
Approved, so long as you keep a log that details the time you worked with Leroy, as well as what you did during that time.
