First play session of 2009 was pretty good.
I'm still rather puzzled how to balance the ball/chair (newer level 2 concept of the porcupine game) and also how to improve her driving on her right side. Hmm, how interesting! :)
She's getting much better with the friendly game and is less resistant when I touch her face, at times she will even check in when I put my hand on her cheek or under her forelock.
Diane brought over a friend and her young children to see Molly and they were doing usual kids stuff; darting from here to there, jumping around and making loud noises. It was good desensitisation for Lily but I honestly nearly had a heartattack when one of them ran behind Lily despite numerous warnings. Thankfully she just got a bit introverted rather than boot him into the next village. Phew, crisis averted and a new thing I need to get her used to; little people!
2009 is going to be a great year, I know it! Lily and I are going to go from strength to strength, I will focus on being a better leader and, without sounding too predatory, I'd like to be in level 3 groundskills this year. It might be overly optimistic, but it might also be achievable, what I know is that I'm going to try my hardest to be the human Lily has always wanted. |

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
