PNH Clinic @ Waerenga

Wow what an inspirational & motivational 3+ days.  I was sooo tired from not being fit enough physically and mentally...Didn't realise that I had lost so much of all that in 2 years...But not to worry I will be back to peak after some serious exercise and practise....The girls at 3 & 4 were awsome and it helps to know where I am headed.  I had a bit of an issue with too much energy directed at Gypsy but I can work on that and my co ordination..It will take a lot of committment and practise but I know I can do it and get a really great partnership going with Gypsy.  She is a LB extrovert which I love- so tolerant, but very cheeky and at times very naughty when I don't get it right...BUT when I DO she is amazing...must remember to point that BB away from her when I am not making contact or bringing my energy down....I tend to over focus things and therefore it can get very intense...so glad she isn't a RB or we would be in trouble...But we learnt heaps and I did finally get my patterns going in the end and I can make it a lot more fun for her as well....When Jackie showed me how to do circling to make it more interesting for her- she looked BEEEautiful- she held her tail high like an arab, name flowing and she piaffed around the circle- amazing what can happen when the person directing them knows what they are doing...and Gypsy LOVED it she showed off as she has never done before.  Love it love it love it....when I put her on the float to go to the clinic she went on beautifully and stood while I went and put the bar then the back up- then I went to the front and tied her- she travelled very well and came off the other end fantastically...BUT when I went to float her home to my horror she was a slug and didn't want to go on- I just didn't have any energy left so Jane thankfully put her on for me. Thankyou Jane & Wendy for organising the clinic, Jackie for being the most amazing instructor, Janette for sharing your fabulous tent with me & everyone else for motivation, inspiration and support- this all made for a great 3 days- thankyou
