Sorry, guys, I have been completely neglecting my blog. Since the fantastic session with Arran, Saffy and I have played and ridden just a few times and I've played with Lily twice. Uni work has had to take priority for the moment to ensure that I can take a few days off for the clinic and a day or two after to recover. Not to mention that the weather has been very British in it's hit and miss ways plus horsecare and field management being the main things done up at the yard right now. Saffy's sweet itch has improved since I got her the Pagony rug and flymask but she had still been rubbing her face raw. I bought some new lotions and potions for her which I've been putting on each day and that has helped a fair bit so we're getting it under control I hope.
I haven't seen my beloved mares since Sunday when we trailered them over to Arran's ready for tomorrow. They were so well behaved and my leadership must've been in pretty good shape 'cos they were both loaded and ready to go within 10mins. I miss them like crazy but on the other hand I don't miss the twice daily visits, sweet-itch prevention and poo-picking.
Before they went, I had a play with both to see what our strong points are and what needs work. Lily's main issue is impulsion, shocker. Saffy's is FQ driving and the allow on a circle which is pretty typical of a LB pony, nothing major and everything else is good. I'm so excited about tomorrow, I think it's been 9 months I've looked forward to it. Expect lengthy posts and hopefully pictures to come! :) |

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
