Jessey..
That would be ANDI
I made the mistake of putting some hay I was going to put outside on top of shavings.
A few strands fell on top and behind I was only 2 bags high.
I went out the next morning and she had pulled one to the middle of the stall and had some
holes in the bag from her dragging it out of the way.
She is a vaccum cleaner when it comes to food she wont leave a strand.
And its not like she is not getting LOTS of hay.
This is the state of the wood chips in the little cavaletti pen right now.
The footing in there is very smooth no lumpy bumpy.
I am trying really hard to not mess it up.
So right now I only go in there when the ground wont dig in at all with getting soft and hard.
So that I can have a place to play all winter and that ring is very out in the open for sun
when its cold so its the best place to play.
Its also the most perfect size for sonny to be very responsive at liberty going around on his own til I ask him to change something.
When I online lunge I pass the line behind me and do not turn around with him. It is his responsibility to keep going behind me.
I have a chair in the little cavaletti ring and do the same thing I can sit in the chair
and he will keep going til I ask him to halt or reverse.
It may sound lazy but I feel its him behaving well..
I don't have to be constantly going around urging him.
If your going to do traveling circles you really need the horse to go behind you with you moving the LINE behind you as you move foreward.
Traveling circles is the one really good thing I took away from Parelli.
I don't follow any ONE person I take wh
at works for me and my horses from
everyone out there.
This was last May and the grass did creep i
nto it .
