Not Smooth & Perfect but this is possibly even better!

OK So, the last two weeks of Play Sessions have run smoothly & made me wonder how I got soooo Savvy All of a sudden with having had a long break over winter.

Well - LOL, last night Katana, was having different thoughts to me BUT when I look at it now I am pretty stoked with how it went and I wonder if it was a BETTER play session than the ones that actually went really smoothly and ran perfectly...??

I didn’t get the ball out this time but we have plenty to play with even so, Barrels for Figure 8, Pole on tyres for jump, Road cones, Pedistal

OMG - Still going good, Summer rocks & So does my Horsey

So, last night it was around 7.30pm when the heat had gone from the day and I decided to head out side and set up a few toys.

I went and 'got caught' by my little mare and then I brought her up to the top of the paddock & released in the small pen I have made up, its about 20mx10m and is just a kidn of holding pen that I had set up for Nova after his surgery.

Anyway she watched me intently as i was hiffing barrels and poles around & putting things around the paddock for us to play with.

WOW!!! Break Throughs!!

Well, since I passed my L1 audition at the start of NZ's 2010 Winter I havent done a heck of a lot with the horses at all... expecially in the form of play sessions.

A couple of days ago I was in the paddock, mooching with my beautiful little black RBI mare & I was wondering how I am going to go about making a pedistal and what I can do to make our entrance into L2 an exciting but successful one.

Here I was sitting on the Sled that my other horse, a Shire, pulls around our little acreage.

I just got my Audition Results

Winter Fun

Had some sun today down in the cold depths of a Kiwi Winter.

I took the covers off the horses & was picking up the poop in the paddock. Both horses were intently following me around & if I didnt pay them any attention they would walk between me & the barrow & stand in the way OR in the case of my RBI mare that I am using as my partner for the Levels Program... she would lift her front leg & out it in the barrow then look at me & when i made a noise to express my unimprssedness (if thats a word) she would then tip it over!!

I Had laugh at her.

Some strange behaviour

Just after some advice really.

A couple of months ago I was playing with me RBI mare & I asked her to touch her cover which was laying on the ground.

She happily walked up to it & then lowered her head stuffed her mouth as full of canvas as seh could get it then stood there, not making any movements except to blink.

She wasnt sucking the cover or anything like that.
It was just really strange.
I just stood there & hung out with her for a few minutes until she decided she would wake up.

She approached calmly & she woke up calmly.
