In and out

Seems like this winter consistency has been the issue with the coldest, rainy-est weather I remember.

This past weekend--great clinic with Kelly Sigler at Mary's and gorgeous 60 degree weather. Now its rainy and cold again--even a little snow yesterday.

Try has stifle injury--first injury in the 7+ years I have known here. She is on stall rest as she was pacing in the paddock and not improving. We are going for walks together a couple times a day. The only thing I learned from the weekend I've been practicing is haltering with greater finesse. We have been enjoying being together and are looking forward to spring.

I'm Back

well I have taken a break: holidays, weather, etc and am starting over so to speak. During the past two months I've read/studied a little, followed Parelli happenings a bit, continued my riding lessons, and played some on the ground.

yesterday Try and I played with stopping over a jump--we got so Try would trot to the jump then walk front feet over and stop. Also played with figure 8 to the right only as that is the way that is weakest--online but cueing with stick/string to stop forward motion after the turn so she will come to me. Next time: trying backing up when I cue.
