Hi Sheila,
glad to hear you enjoy the games as much as I do! My filly and I are
progressing really well. Like Jonnie on this message board, I have a
2.5 year old Arabian and we are doing long lines with the bitless.
She is REALLY doing well. We have circled and slalomed with cones
and everyone is really impressed with her. No converts in the short
term, but you just never know!

We do circling games, and all seven games Sheila. We just have not
taken on up to the saddle games. Next summer or so. She plays really
well. I have private lessons with a Parelli instructor twice a
month, except for now, down to once per month cause I am taking
driving lessons with her.

Such fun"
Take care. On my profile you can see a picture of her and I at a
parade this summer. She was such a show off"
