We've had the most snow we've had in a few years now and couldn't get the car off the driveway until today!
Lily wasn't where she was emotionally and mentally from where we last left it... Oh boy? lol, it took me about 15 minutes to have her catch me and it was all very right-brain, snorty and basically back to square 1 but thankfully I was not! So I just advanced and retreated and swapped my 12ft line to a savvy string so I could play the friendly game easier once she was close enough and she wasn't so bad after a little bit of a hop, skip and a snort.
We took it easy, moseyed once I'd put the 22ft line on, then played friendly game with the bareback pad and then groomed for the first time in ages, her mane is so long now! After I turned her out, I played the catching game again just to end things on a solid note and she seemed okay, not great but good enough. Its always something else to work on as we go on, it seems to be since I've been turning up with a saddle or bareback pad so instead of not doing that, I'll do it more. Oh boy, always something to work on! |

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
