Refriendling the friendly game is going well! Tail is less J shaped, a bit more blinking, floppy bottom lip at times and I seem to be pushing the right buttons because he's doing plenty of licking and chewing. I can even move the carrotstick rhythmically in an arc facing him and he remains calm. I think I lost sight of the importance of the friendly game previously and it crumbled little by little. Lesson learnt and it won't happen again. This week will be more of the same and its a bit tedious at times but I'm learning a lot about Benji by focusing more on one specific thing. :)

    Hey Lucy!

    Sorry I haven't e-mailed you back on Savvy Club lately. My computer has been troubled and only lets me on the forum when it wants too... ugg.

    Good job with taking it slow and going back to the Friendly game! :) Sounds like you know just what he needs and you'll get right back on track! :O)

    Savvy Out,
    Olivia, Cocoa, and Dixie

    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
