Good day

I stayed on :P haha
So kim and nicole were heading to the ring so I joined them to ride and see how bella would do. I had the horsemans reins and bareback pad and off we went. Because of some of her past episodes of 'attacking' passing horses I just walked for a bit smacked her once when i could feel her shift towards fonzie but that was it! They were loping by, we were walk, trotting and canter and NOTHING!!! I was so happy. I dont know what changed her from doing this, Maybe me being more of her leader now then I was before??? I dunno!
When they left, I asked her for another canter and I was going to be done but she exploded did a 180 and started to run! YIKES! She went a bit right brained on me. I softly turned her into a circle and brought her down to a stop and waited until she relaxed and asked for a walk. She started to trot and i could feel she was a bit tense. So I started playing the friendly game in zone 1 with the bit which we were taught to do at the clinic. I though this would make me completly relaxed get her to relax and in rythem together and it sure did. we walked a lap switched direction and I started to ask her to strech her head down and back out and she seemed to know EXACTLY what I wanted and did it and started to blow out and I could feel her whole body relax.
so I asked her to trot while still playing the friendly game and started to ask her to put her head down and again she relaxed herself not as much as the walk but I still felt it!

Now I cannot WAIT for the parelli clinic!
