This morning I played with Twosox. He did really well. We didn't do a whole lot but that is okay. We worked on our Change of directions at the trot, Transitions [w/t/c], and Zone 5 driving. When we were doing Zone 5 driving we did Figure 8's, Weaving, Touch it, and even trotted a little!!! Twosox has come such along way!!
Then we went to Liberty. We did some circles, stick to me, Porcupine games, and yo-yo games. It was only the second time Twosox and I have ever done the circling game at Liberty and he did REALLY well. Our draw was a million times better today!!!! Twosox would come right to me with no hesitation.
I am making sure to take it slow and not do to long of Liberty sessions and I think it is paying off. Twosox is getting better every time!!!

"For I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day"
2 Timothy 1:12
I have been doing Parelli since April 2006. I bought my first horse, Prince, on April 21, 2006 at the age of 11. That was when I started this amazing journey.
I officially passed Level 3 in 2010 and with three Level 4 savvy passed my aim is to pass my Finesse within the next year and then start a new part of my journey as a Parelli Professional and help make the world a better place for humans and horses.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Feel free to leave a comment! I love them!
Naturally,
