Friendly/UDT/Scratch itchy spots day!
I didn't have much time so I just went to see Benji and hang out with him. It was hard at first because Lily was trying to protect me and even if I moved her away politely she'd be offended. So once she got bored and walked off I was determined to find itchy spots on Benji. In the past I've gotten lip-quivers but never a proper 'ohhhh that's good!' itchy spot, today I got a few smiles which was an improvement! Out of Love, Language and Leadership we've been lacking a bit of the love so this next week I'll really focus on becoming his best bud rather than his nagging drill-master. Its hard to find a balance inbetween LBe frisking me for treats/being bored and RB introversion, being tense when we just focus on the friendly game but I want to fix it so badly and I will!

Lily


    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
