I spent most of my day up the yard today, I can't believe where the time went and I am immensly worn out now. Worth it though! Lily and I hung out, I drove her into the bigger field so she could graze, we had a good time and she was nice and calm without being introverted.
Today was session three of 22ft line desensitisation for Benji and it went well, a little introversion but not much. We then hung out, played a lot of porcupine and then I turned the 22ft into a hackamore with a very long leadrope (bless him and his little neck!). Played more with porcupine and driving game so he was light, responsive and left brain. Then I hopped on him in the grass 'school' and we practised hindquarter disengagements. He was very LBi in the 'school' and we were both bored so I opened the 'school gate' and we moseyed round the one acre field on a casual rein. He behaved very well and I was proud of myself for believing that positive things will happen rather than negative provided I prepared.
Benji was left brain today so I'll say hooray and lets keep our fingers crossed! :) |

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.

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
