Training Tiamat
Tiamat's second time in a round pen. She is learning to change direction using only hand signals and by turning to the inside (instead of turning into the fence)
After only 15 minutes of Tiamat's round penning, she was making great progress! Faster turns and more responsive to hand signals. She is a smart young lady!

History of the Name Tiamat
Tiamat is the Babylonian primordial goddess of the sea and depicted as a dragon. Through her sacred marriage to Aspu, the god of fresh water, she gives birth to the first generation of gods becoming the mother of all gods. When Apsu is killed, Tiamat seeks revenge by taking the form of a massive 5-headed sea dragon. When she is slain, her body creates heaven and earth.
