Been feeling bad all week, migraine and all that goes with it... ugh!
So tonight I was able to spend some time with Bonny. She was so funny, showing me where all her itchy spots were and letting me massage her ears...that was a first!
Then she was trying to mug Donna for treats and managed to wipe her mouth all over Donnas jumper, so funny! Donna you really must learn to defend your space... ;o)
I've booked a place on Cathys next course in Derbyshire... should be fun, but I'm soooo nervous.

A place for me to journal my Parelli journey with Bonny.
Bonny
Bonnys breed is unknown as is her age, her passport says shes 27 but who knows. She's an ex riding school horse, which is where her previous owner got her from. Bonny has been my partner for 2 years now, she was a valentines present from my lovely husband. She is a right brain introvert but becoming more and more left brain, loves to stand really close to you... especially if you have treats!
Bonny was diagnosed with low grade arthritis in her back legs last year. After a stressful few weeks, Bonny has now retired.
