Second Day of Parelli

Well, today I went up to the stables and Tilly got half way up the field towards me and watched me carefully before making up her mind that yes, okay, she would approach me.  So she came over and had a good sniff at the halter before lowering her head.  I still get in a bit of a muddle tying it but she is ever so forgiving and has so much patience with me!!

 

We start with the friendly game and she stays relaxed and content as she is rubbed everywhere and the string is thrown over her back and around her legs.  Excellent, onto Game 2.

 

Just starting out

Well, I had to wait (impatiently might I add) for my carrot stick to arrive. 

Jumping out of bed so I could be at the stable for 7am to play with Tilly, her face was a picture when she thought she'd get fed and instead - "you want me to play. Now?" 

We started with the friendly game and she watched me intently before realizing that actually, she didn't have to do anything.  Within minutes she lowered her head.   Had she gone to sleep?   Nope, she was watching me out of the corner of her eye.
