Lesson fun!

As you can guess from the title I have been giving some lessons...  My cousin and her friend come once a week on Thursday for a lesson.  I put them on bareback usually 'cause I like to torture them...  lol!  JK!  I put them on bareback to strengthen their muscles and to teach them how to have balance because my saddle is a hunter jumper saddle so you are pushed WAY forward and so they can't get their balance point real well. They have been doing REALLY good I usually do around 45min-1hour of ground work with them and then 10-20 minutes of riding time because I want them comfortable on the ground first because then the confidence transfers into the saddle and they will then try new things and progress faster:).

Sonny and I are "unofficial" level 1 grads and level 2 online and freestyle grads:). We can do all the stuff on the checklist:).  If I want to do the savvy club I have to pay for it myself so I can't do the "official" auditions :(... Oh well... We are now starting our finesse and Sonny is doing MARVELOUSLY! It is sooo fun! Any tips? I'll *try* to make a movie if I can get my camera working again:P! Ever since I started Parelli everyone keeps commenting on Sonny and I's bond. I don't see anything spectacular but everyone else seems to???? But I just tell everyone that its because of Parelli;)! I think that I have reverted some ppl to it because Sonny pretty consistently draws at a trot and lets me ride him around bridleless and bareback so I show everyone that and their jaws drop! I crack up laughing! Its soooo easy get it, too, if you work on creating that bond, rapport, and respect first. I mean ANYTHING is possible if you have those 3 fundamentals down! Sonny is definitely my dream horse!

Red and I have been playing with our freestyle and I can now consistently get a trot!!!! YAY! Once my EXTREME LBI OFFERED IT!!!! Our online is getting better... I can get 1/2 lap of trot on the circling game when I get really insistent about it. Our sideways game is coming along slowly but not so surely ;P! lol! Red is sooo sweet and LOVES to cuddle! Red is definitely my challenge! He is the biggest challenge I've had yet :P! The reason is because we both have REALLY different person/horseanalities:)! Well I've gtg help make dinner 8D!
