Sue and I

I am so thankful to have my new neighbour she is a breath of fresh air. Its nice to have Sue come over. She thinks that i am helping her, but i know its the other way around. The amount of play we have gotten in is wonderful. I can see how addicting this is coming. Back in the day i guess i felt on top of the world, working with Ian Millars horses and all, always felt a little sad for not owning my own, but it was ok. Later on in life, much later on it was time to own my own. I felt i was ready for a young green horse, so that is what i got. We have had our ups and downs and yes i am sure there was a couple of times where i thought i was in over my head however this last week has proved the parelli program for me and i am hooked. I am like a little kid calling Sue to ask if she can come over and play, its awesome. Sue has been trailering Lily over which is nice cause then i have a chance to ask Freya to load up. And after the second attempt she loaded herself, something i have been worried about for awhile.

More great news Sue came over again and we had that much more fun. Sue did a lot of follow the rail with Lily and as always i did a lot of friendly, porcupine and we did a bit of zone 4 driving, or i hope that is what you would call it. I tried to use my imagination but boy is that hard. I cant think outside of what i know. The little jump i have set up is a lot of fun. I tried to get her to just have her front feet over, if i cant do it i guess it is a sure sign of my energy, i have to learn not to be so excited every time she does something that amazes me. Freya and also played at circling and we are at the beginning stages or walk trot transitions, again i have to be more aware of my energy lol. After Sue had finished i let her play with Freya, we have both come to the conclusion that she is just way too reactive to things, another area where once my leadership becomes stronger i am hoping it will all fall into place. All in all it was another wonderful play session. I rode her again. and longer then i have in over a year. I have noticed that my balance is coming which is definitely a positive, and not so fearful when on her, my confidence is building, i almost went into the riding ring......almost but i don't want to push myself or have more expectations of her.
