Neck Rope Play

3-7-11 The arena footing was wonderful today after the rain yesterday! Today Lordy and I got creative online. We played with the 22 foot line as a neck rope. Using the ring I threaded the rope through and around his neck. Mostly it stayed in the middle of his neck. He was super light and we played the 7 games with obstacles. His changes of direction were soft and I found him even more focused on my body language. He felt to follow the feel of the rope better than when in the halter.... How interesting. It was nice to play and have minimal opposition considering it was something so new for him. We have never done it before.... so it was very cool. Lordy is so willing to do things... I thank the Parelli program for that.... I can suggest and get with lightness responses I thought impossible pre-parelli..... LOL
