1st of August, I can't believe it!!

So, it's settled. I'm definately going to Stoneleigh on the 22nd of June for four days and I know it's 10 months away but I am SO EXCITED! :)

Today we got cracking and although I'm trying not to set goals, I want to make sure we're ready for the course so we started transitions online today. First of all Benji would just hide his hiney and look like this O_O. I stood and thought for a moment as to why he reacted the way he did and I realised that I'd been a doofus and not lead zone 1. After I twigged I tried again and he instantly got it. He's such a good boy.
We also had a bit of a ride around the field he's in with the mares and he got a bit RB which made me a little nervous but even when RB Benji is quite predictable so I knew what to expect. We practised our trotting for a little while and also follow the rail for the level 1 assessment we'll be filming for soon. Had a pretty good day. :)

Pre-Parelli I did the best with what I knew but now I know better; I want to do better!

    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.
The Philosophy
    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
