First day of the Equine Touch course over and I feel exhausted... thought I'd come home and study the manual, but no I had dinner and fell asleep on the sofa!
Very interesting, lovely venue, fabulous food and great people who can ask for more.... that would be me then, wish I could get in my head the techniques and breathing at the same time!
I know this is going to help Bonny and Tia so much so I'm hanging in there and hopefully everything will become clear by Sunday. Fabulous bay mare that we've been working on, I think I must have a thing for bays!!!

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.
