... and we still haven't sat on our horses! However, James says that when we do tomorrow, we will notice the difference because we have spent a lot of time on getting the basics right. I think Liquorice wondered who I had turned into this afternoon though, when we did the "falling leaf" to get a softer "feel" on the halter! I had to fix a carrier bag to the carrot stick as "encouragement." I don't think I ever seen him move so fast! We do get very cold in the mornings sitting and watching James. I forgot to bring a deodorant and it's been so cold that I swear, haven't perspired even once!
We do have mad periods of activity though helping to muck out - a job we all fight over because it warms you up! When I have finished outside in the evenings, I have a long hot shower, change into my Jim Bobs and watch BBC iplayer on the laptop, eating Crunchie Bars - heaven.
James has a refreshingly uncomplicated view of the purpose of the Parelli games as prerequisites for riding which makes progressing through the levels feel much more "do-able."
I've posted this picture of Liquorice because James keeps calling him a "she" because he's "so pretty!"
