Working REALLY hard on my emotional fitness..

Because, I really want to throw the hugest tantrum that I can't be at the NEC celebration this weekend :(
Was sooo close to going - I've been deadly ill all week, and I was hoping that my geography teacher would say it would be better for me to not come on the school trip to Cardiff. Sadly, I think he barely noticed me sniffing and coughing away today in our lesson (the first one I've been at all week), and so I can't persuade my mum to let me skive. Ah well, I got my email this morning saying the whole would be televised which is (in Scrubs' JD style) AWESOME!

While everyone parelli in the UK is in Birmingham, I will be in Cardiff on Saturday and then back home on Sunday, hopefully having my mum take some photos of me doing cool stuff with Olivia. Last week was a massive break through for us, we got the bridleless canter (everyone now, woop woop!!!). It was loverly, I felt so in tune with her. In fact, the whole session was like we were on a cloud. She was so responsive, and kept a real tab on her emotions when I asked her to go faster and then slow down (when she would normally get a little stressy).

Anyway, after an amazing and motivating session like that its inevitable that I would get ill and not be able to do anything. But the last week at home as let me get back on top of all things of Parelli. Finally caught up on the last 2 savvy club DVDs, loads for me to play with there! I also finally began reading 'Natural Horsemanship Explained', a book I must have bought over a year ago. How embarresing that I'm only reading it now...!! I guess thats intensive UK education for you. Boo!!

Oh well, I'm dead excited becasue I'm going to be pestering a friend on blackberry messenger all weekend for the gossip from the NEC, I'll still be able to order the DVD, not to mention the new levels that are coming out, AND I'll still get to spend a little quality time with my beautiful horse.

I'll try and get some pictures on here soon, I hate this blog being a big fat chunk of writing. YUCK!!
