Farrier School

I recently had a discussion with one of my horsemanship students who is due to graduate soon.   He expressed a strong desire to go to farrier school before moving on with his college education.  We've looked at several schools, but haven't decided on one yet.   If any one has advice or tips on a particular school or on farrier schools in general I'd love to hear from ya at

Just a quick update.Milly really showed her true Horsenality today.There is a heap of soil covered by a tarpand so I decided to go and introduce her to it.At first Mil wouldn't sniff it but she could smell a treat I put on it.So then she decided to be brave and take the treat.When she took it,I couldn't get her awayfrom it,"is there another treat there,is there,is there"!!

Bless her

Hi,

I have a Left Brain Introvert called Milly.

Today I went to play with Milly with my plan being to really respect her horsenality. I gave her lots of rubs,rests,scratches on her itchy spot and when she grave me a nice response to something a treat.The thing is the more I do to take care of Milly's horsenality the better reponses I got.

How Interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Hi, I am Heather - After some 30 years of having no horse in my life I found my beautiful black varnish roan appaloosa mare in October of 2009 and began my Parelli journey at the same time.  Belle is a 12 year old LBE and we are working on Lvl 2 stuff.  The riding part has been a challenge - learning 'Western' techniques when I rode lazy English style as a teenager.  It was just a get on and do it learning that I had in the first place - I had no pony club or formal riding instruction - so much of the Parelli philosophy and methods felt so very right to me right from the star

I just got my Audition Results

Winter Fun

Posted Sat, 07/03/2010 - 08:44 by Kiwi Shires  Kiwi Shires

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.

I did finally do it - but now I have RE Done it!!

Woke up this morning & decided I would re video my Level 1 Audition.

Yup - I did! LOL

Possibly silly to do but I decided after having put more thought into it that I could demonstrate my Level one Savvyness alot better if I showed a few more things in my audition, rather than just the copulsories. AND Besides, the video was on just over 5 minutes long.

Anyway, I have redone it & Emailed it all away to Parelli Heaven & I am eagerly awaiting the response.

Does anyone know how long it takes for you to normally get a reply once your Audition has been submitted?

Lets try something new & out of my comfort zone....
