Arobridge Kaimanawa's: Practising for L1

I haven't done anything at all today with Oscar..usually I do something, but I just ran out of time. Lynn had been and done the yards by the time I got down there....Then I fed out a couple of bales of hay to the big cattle and then another bale to the weaners.
I brought Gypsy and Sarg into the yards as I wanted to do my L1 pnh video today. I got drenched 3 times, almost gave up but then decided to go ahead anyway...so i picked up Lynn and Danny in the float and back we came...Lynn did some excellent work with Arani while I groomed Gypsy. Arani will now turn for her on both sides- he is very relaxed with Lynn now, so soft....Then it was off to the roundpen with Gypsy to do our audition.....But it wasn't too good today, so it turned into a practise....I felt a bit guilty as Lynn had to get back by 4pm for an appointment and she didn't get to Danny for his audition, but sometimes it doesn't pan out the way you think. We decided that we have to do at least 20mins every day- we get way laid with one thing and another - so Lynn will do her practise with Danny in the mornings and I will do mine with Gypsy daily as well...I am having 2 of the grandies(Grandchildren) this weekend so may not get too much done till Monday, but if it's fine tomorrow will definitely do Gypsy and then hopefully Oscar....He always starts of skitish, but by the end of the 20-30mins he is always so soft that I don't want to miss the session if I can.
Gypsy and I weren't that crash hot today- I think everything was a bit rushed, but after we settled down and she was listening to me and I was listening to her we made good progress....Hana came and videoed it and it was so good to see where the audition needs to be worked on...thankyou Hana.

Also yesterday Pip sent me some beautiful photos of Hawkeye and Radar O'Reilly so I thought I'd put them on for you- they are with the most caring family and they love them to bits, so I am very pleased- Radar is being started now- and has been an absolute star, and Hawkeye is about to be started under saddle.
