Making some Progress now

Yesterday morning I played with Oscar and Louka and decided this was the perfect life...then went and did some gardening- although you can hardl;y see where I've been...then in the afternoon I thought I'd put some of the things Jackie taught us at the clinic into action....Gypsy and I were good today- really in tune...I kept my energy down and facing away from her until I needed to use it, and what a brilliant performance we had - I put the 22foot line on her and we were doing CORRECT figure 8's and weaving between the cone...slowly then at the trot- I've got the hang of it at last...Her circles are good and she can maintain gait- we were circling around the barrells and squeezing & sidestepping in and out between the fence and the barrels- then the best part for me was when Gypsy sidestepped over the barrells with her front & back legs either side...WOW what a star...I kept everything very slow and we both enjoyed ourselves and it was interesting play for Gypsy- you could tell she was sooo much happier.....Sarg was in with us and wanting to be in on everything as well....so we did some of the games with Sarg as well, and much to my surprise he wasn't quite as sure on the 22foot line..but he soon got the hang of it, and then all of a sudden he took off with the rope following him and he galloped around the paddock 2 or 3 times before he came over to me and stopped to rest on my shoulder....I have never seen him frightened before- but he kept his head and once he could manage it he stopped and came over to me for reassurance and relaxation....that was nice - we did some more friendly & yoyoing and circles and then left it there.  What an amazing day...Love it!!!! Went to study group that night- a whole day horsing- BRILLIANT!!!!
