Parelli Study Group Task #1

The lovely Jo has got us all organised! As part of our study group she has encouraged us to set ourselves 12 challenges (one per month) to complete by the end of the year .... That way if nothing else we can all say we can do 12 more things than we could do before! Each month we pick one out of our own envelopes and have to do that - it's quite exciting now because, two months on, I have forgotten what challenges I put in my envelope!
So, this video shows my first challenge which was to load Liquorice from outside the lorry. He had been very good at loading ME up to this point! since we had the new van we have been getting him used to it by feeding him his tea in there (LBI highly motivated by food) and taking him on short trips. He then had a very long trip to Wiltshire (see previous posts) and this made him much more relaxed about being in there. However I had a little bit of difficulty getting him on on my own because he would get on if I was already in there but then, of course, I had to get past him to get to the partition to close it.
Anyway, on the day of our study group meeting I asked a friend to video me attempting the task and he was on the lorry in less then a minute! I think that says something about the power of focus!
