What an interesting day. Z was RBE when played the friendly game with CS and SS as she grazed. Before and after a play session, she was very sensitive to my movements and the touch of the ss, and kept putting me on her left side (bad eye side).
Played in the outdoor ring, after me and my shadow, set out my deck planters as a squeeze game (3 feet). No problem going over cavaletti with me on the left and sending her over, but she stalled with the planters. This time I just waited. After a moment, I thought she was snoozing with her eyes shutting down, but then noticed that her nostrils were doing what Allures' did in the video of him going catatonic. She completely shut down! I waited, and after a few minutes (it seemed an eternity) she jerked awake. It still took a lot of approach and retreat before she was willing to walk through the opening. Repeated two more times. Each was faster, but still a high level of thresholds. VERY interesting. I've missed this before. I had thought her appearance meant she was resting/napping, but she was actually going more internal. Sigh.
When releasing her in the paddock, she walked away from me but when I looked at her butt she turned around and came right to me!!!! Treat time!
