Well, I decided to make myself one of these online blogs to record my journey with my horse!! I've seen quite a few people with these, and it seems like a good idea!
Let me introduce myself. My name is Jo, and I live in London, UK. Obviously not the best of places for some one who wants to spend all her time with her horse! Luckily I've found a stable nearby where I can keep my horse.
At this moment, I think Olivia is somewhere near the Poland/German border. Olivia is huc/mlp cross breed, a polish mare, born April 2004. I've owned her since July 2007 (when she was 3), and I kept her with a friend of my family in Poland, near our summer home. So that obviously meant that at the end of August last year I had to return home, and she stayed there. This year I returned, and now we are bringing her back to us!
ANYWAY, at the moment I've become really interested in the 'parelli' technique, I found out about it when I bought a book, literally the week after I got back. So after spending the whole year finding out as much as I could, joining the savvy club and buying all I needed, this summer me and Olivia have completed level 1 and we are now mid level 2!
So this blog is going to record my relationship with Olivia :) I hope it is at least a LITTLE interesting !!!!
Oliviais LBE, I'll upload the horseanality chart later because the connection is failing at the moment!
Olivia is a very high spirited, opinionated mare. She's a great horse and offers so much; normally she is very forward going and listens. She is sensitive, and when asked too loudly she can throw a strop. I've had all sorts of challenges with her; rearing, bucking, refusing to move an inch! But as I always say, who on earth would want a perfect horse? She has loads to teach me and I have a feeling that our journey will be never ending.
