Glorious sunshine again.
Bonny and I have had a few days off after the course, today was much the same, but I wanted to wash her legs because they were almost black from the rubber in the arena. But Bonny and Bella had other ideas, so the catching game was on! It didn't take long they only went to the bottom of the field and waited for us. It was lovely to see Bella trot up to Donna to be caught, then Bonny walked to me, really nice. I washed her legs, cleaned her ears and put her fly mask on, then turned her out again.
I'm still mulling through all the info from the course, deciding what to work on first.

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.
