Sorry guys, hope you didn't think I'd dropped off the fact of the earth!
I've been busy this week with boring field management tasks and my uni work.
Tuesday I went up with the intention of getting the transitions online real good so we could get off them. It was so peaceful that once Benji had caught me we just chilled out for a while. We moseyed over near Lily and she took one look at me and ran off, not good. So I excused myself from Benji and went to play the catching game with Lily. I was trying to figure out what I'd done wrong to cause that reaction and I think it was because on the Monday I had driven them into their new field with the carrotstick and didn't 'check in' with her afterwards. Within 10 minutes she was shoving her head into the ropehalter so that was cool. We then joined the rest of the herd and hung out with them for a while. Nothing like a good session of UDT in nice weather.
Thursday I'd come up with no intention of playing with them as I was busy but we hung out some more at liberty and for the first time in well over a year Lily groomed me, I was so happy!
I will post about today (Friday) later. |

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
