2 play sessions in one

Well now, i missed an entry for Wednesday's play day as well as Sue and i played today, so here goes 2 in 1.

Wednesday we had play group at Sue L. house. Everyone had the GRAND tour, and it really is grand. It is going to be a lot of fun over there especially come Spring and definitely when i can get my girl over for play days. It was a bit miserable out and rainy, but we had a bawl. Sue Solf played with her appy named ....get this Bling. Love that name and so suits him. Sue had a lot of fun playing with him. He is definitely dominant. I think they ended on a pretty good note, but like Lidlebit, can be a handful. Everyone else like Myself, Shelia, Sue L. and Miss Keri all had a turn with Lily, wow, such a nice mare. I only played with her for a few minutes. I really wanted to see where i will be with Freya in due time. Lily is so very light and has such a soft look about her. Its really different watching how a horse gets along with other people. Fascinating.

Today now. Yet another amazing day with Sue and Lily. They walked over again, and we hung out with our girls and had a coffee for aprox 30 mins before we headed over to the play area. I truly believe now, that the undemanding time is so worth it. I can now say that it is fun to just hang out. Once we made it over to the rings Sue went and did her thing with Lily and i worked again with circling, and she was awesome, there was no stopping behind me going counter clockwise, however going clockwise she was getting a little excited, wanting to canter and pull just a little, so instead of staying in the big ring we backed through the gate and decided to play in the round pen. I decided instead of worrying about the rope i took it off and we did some liberty stuff. She was fantastic, and then when she was ready, she came to me, ( big sigh), i have waited a long time for me to feel that my horse really wanted me. and i felt that. I had her, she is now becoming a bff. After my girl and i were connected it was time to groom and saddle. I did it all without a rope on, pretty exciting if i do say so myself. Put the 12 foot on and did a little of stick to me and the connection was still there. Time to get on you say. Well ok then, that is what i did. I was on her for about 10 mins or so and didn't have any fear, in fact my confidence grew and is growing so quickly. We played a little of your idea my idea and follow the rail. After the 10 mins i had to get off and hand over the camera. I guess i like to have the proof of me riding, lol. Without hesitation i was right back on for probably 15 mins. I really didn't want to get off, but knowing i should end things on a good note.....it was time. Besides this is just the beginning.
