For starters I am 14 years old with goals of becoming a young horse specialist. I am currently playing in the Parelli Natural Horsemanship program with a LBE/LBI 2 year old grade QH filly.
I started her undersaddle myself and we are currently finishing up L2 ground and working in L2 riding.
I also have a RBI/LBI 17 year old QH mare I just recently bought, that I am taking through L1 ground and riding.
I have been playing in the PNH program for a year and a half now. I have 2 horses through L2 ground and riding in addition to Belle and Lizzy.
Today was the second day of the Fletcher tour stop. It was amazing! I learned alot and was so inspired.
I was able to talk to both Pat and Linda. They were both incredible. Such nice people with the goal of helping horses and humans be safe and have fun.
When I got home I went out to hang out with the girls for a bit. It was interesting.. At the tour stop I really focused on trying to read the horses as best as I could... when I got home I felt I could read my horses much better. I think having a fresh look at different horsenalities helps that alot.
I really noticed Lizzy's RBI coming out. She was so sweet, yet kind of timid and shy. If Belle came up and gave her a snotty look she very politely walked away and didn't mess with Belle anymore. It was mild RBI, but you could see some of the RBI tendencies coming out.
Belle on the other hand was extremely LBI when I first came out. I had carrots and all she could think was "FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD GIVE ME THE FOOD NOW DANG IT!"... Soooo we played with that a bit. I just had a stick and was at liberty with her. We accomplished quite a bit in a short time and she started trying to understand what it took to get a treat, and she was being sweet.
I didn't stay out for long but both of my girls were being sweet and confident when I left so I say it was a good session! :)
I have some new pics of both of them.. I'll post a few of my favorites ;)
