5-7-11 Parade of Barns – Fund Raiser for Hinds Feet Farm, Davidson NC. I was honored to be part of this unique venue. Lordy and I presented an online and liberty spotlight. I finally figured out my ipod to create a play list. Had a good 30 minutes of fun and inspirational music……. My husband and daughter came with me to cheer me on and of course get a video of the spotlight…. always room to learn and improve…… A picture is worth a thousand words….. Lordy was a slow warm up on the 45 foot line to start… shocking for an LBI…. When the spot light is on you….. it can sometimes feel like years trying to get to his brain to get to his feet… LOL Did a bit on the 45 foot line but quickly moved to some feather line play. Lots of changes of directions and s bends to create more draw and connection. Our turns are really coming along. Played with some long line driving… I am sure getting a work out in the deep sand…. it is hilarious to watch me jog beside or behind him…. Last was the transition to liberty for some free jumping. Lordy was fantastic and so willing. He appears to love jumping… or is it the cookies….
In the arena was a brand new plank red and white rail jump. Lordy had never seen it before. It was a solid 3 foot. I played with approach and retreat and he sailed over it… I was so proud of his willingness. I owe the Parelli Program for allowing us to have fun jumping! Lordy has learned all his jumping from a natural Parelli approach and his relaxation and exhuberance shows! Thank you Pat and Linda!
Out stick to me game is coming along and Lordy is really learning to bend and stay connected at close range. We can sync our steps some and we are always improving.
Overall looking over the video I was very excited to see how natural some of our play appeared. Our rapport really shinned…. Now at times our respect could use a bit of polish… LOL The music magically seemed to fit the situation. It was weird because I dont remember trying to transition or make changes with the music but watching it it just happened that way. Maybe it was unconscious.
The day was fun, weather great and best of all Lordy and I had an awesome time! Savvy on and always remember to never stop self improving….. Life long journey! XO
