Playday with Hana & Gaylene

David came today to prepare Arani for floating to Lynn's house...He was very happy to stand in the float today- then David backs him off and takes him for a walk around as a reward and to take his mind off the float- It not about the float.....He walked him on again - right inside -and then backed him off- Arani was a calm as a cucumber - then he took him for a lovely stroll again..and left it there...He'll come back again soon & if Arani is ready take him to Lynn's - if he's not - he'll keep it up until he is ready....Then Hana, Buzz, Dottie & Eddie came over- also Gaylene and Sparky- we all went down to Ethel...Buzz was at Liberty and the rest of us Me & Gypsy & Mae all just did what we needed to do to progress with our horses....I finally got a good circle (Slowly) both ways- and I remembered to stop there while it was good. Usually I want to keep doing that- just because we've got it right...But now I know I must stop the minute it is correct -so we did some figure 8's -gr8 going left but not to the right- my drive still not that gr8 with that right arm- but getting better...then once we had it right I stopped...then on to sidestepping along a log- Brilliant...Played the hide the hiney- excellent- then really just chilled....Sparky put his nose on Ethel today- gr8 he didn't want to last time- and Hana and Buzz were doing amazing liberty- I wish I could do this all day every day- we let them spend a bit of time in the stream- and I'm sure they all loved it- I did
