Today was quite soggy considering it's May but I can't complain seeing as we've had 2 odd weeks of sunny weather. I decided I would work on our catching today and it went really well. I used the techniques Arran taught me when I went to see Lily. He said he does it each time he goes to fetch in his horses so he knows the particular horse wants to be with him. It went really well, a few times when he lazily walked off I just put my hand on his wither and walked with him. Not sure if that was what I was supposed to do but it worked well and at the end we had a good moment where he was really like "ahem, where do you think you're going? I thought you wanted to play!" and followed me. Sod's law that one moment I could've done with a treat to praise that behaviour my pocket was empty!! 
After such a positive session concerning the catching issue it got me thinking about my piebald closet-leftbrain and I'm worried about her coming home yet missing her at the same time. She's so happy where she is it'll be almost a shame to bring her home.

I am owned by this gorgeous piebald cob mare, Lily. She's an interesting character, fun to play with and is a great teacher.
There's more about her on her own page.

It's not about disposable horses; it's about relationships for life.
It's not about quick fixes and artificial aids, it's about savvy; true understanding and expertise.
It's not about winning and others losing; It's about win-win: you and the horse need to feel good.
It's not about me me me; It's about changing the world for horses, becoming a person of knowledge and influence, and sharing what you know.
It's not about fear and doubt; It's about unconditional love and trust.
Love for the empowerment of others and trust that you'll never ask the horse to do something that would hurt or diminish his dignity.
Reveal your horse. Discover your potential. Live your dream.
-Parelli
