Horseanality

Just to help you get to know Olivia a bit better, here are the horseanality charts I've filled out for her. She has consistently been LBE, but its got stronger and stronger!
The first is from summer 2007, which would be when I found her!


After she had been in her new home for a year (but no parelli was done with her over that year) this is what she was like:



Then in September when she came to her new home in BRITAIN!, I filled one out. This is probably inaccurate, because she had been travelling for days and she was in a totally new environment (5 horse herd, to 100s of polo ponies).


I'll fill her out another one when she moves to her new yard, and then when she settles in! I think it will take her a while to settle down, so it will probably be months before her true characteristics show!

LONNNGGG update!

Olivia is settled into England life now! However, because of her horseanality (LBE) she has not been as settled as she could have been in her new stables! At the moment she is in the LOVELIEST stables, but with very limited turnout. This has caused problems for us, (rearing, bucking, broncing) and so I decided to move her.

We are playing to transport her to the new stables with turnout at the end of November, so I will tell you how she responds!!

Anyway, we are well into level 2 now, which I am so proud of! Yesterday I finally got sideways without a fence on her, and she honestly did it B-E-A-Utifully!!!!! WOW!!!

I was so proud I couldn't stop smiling!

Now I have started all the elements of level 2 (except for changes of direction and transitions and liberty - but i've had to take a break from liberty because there isn't really anywherre to practise!).

This is good, becuase on the 13th & 14th December me and Olivia are going to a Rachel Morland clinic...HOW EXCITED AM I!!!!

And before I go, I have to explain how sad I am today. This week I am doing work experience in the city (with Horse Magazine, for those that know it), and it means that I have NO WAY of getting to Olivia, so she has been put on full livery and I won't see her again until Saterday.

Here are some photos of me and Olivia:


This is just me messing about !

See yaaa latterr!!
