First few trys

Well, I have been playing as much friendly game with them as possible with the halter and rope in hand. I lost my stuff in the fire and so I have been watching you tube and trying to remember! I know the first game is friendly and then porcupine, then driving, then yo-yo, then circling, then sideways, then squeeze. I think! So it is very obviouse I need to repurchase my stuff. Although I am a little confused as to weither I need to purchase the second addition to level one or if i should purchase the entire patterns kit which is on sale for a great deal rite now....
Anyway, I went out yesturday and took Leo out of the pen to play some more friendaly game with the carrot stick and savvy string and as usuall no cares just stood there the entire time.
so then I sitched out for Blondie. The kids were driving their quad around and it was starting to get dark so she was pretty worried. So i just brushed her and walked her around a bit and then brought her back. By then my time was up and had to head back to town.
Today, they all came to the fence and as soon as I got their with the halter they all took of as Cassie is our alpha mare. So I tried to play the catching game and it was very obviouse that I need to touch up on that again. Finally they came to the fence and I took Leo first as he is always so eager for attention. We did the same again and he once again did great. I got a little louder with the carrot stick and savvy string. I also put my shitzu Kia on his back and that didn't fiz him either although my pup was shaen a bit. I then switched out for Cassie, brought her out and let Brianna brush her and give her oats and just hang with her a bit and then also aloud her to bring her back down to the pasture as I watched. I am so excited to get parelling with my kids. Then I took Blondie out. As the kids were already done with the quad we walked up no problems. We brushed and played some friendly games and she did super. I took some pics and the first two flashes she jumped a little but didn't take of like yesturday! I wish I had a little more time with them and that they were in my back yard. But am still excited. Then it was time to go as we had the neighbour boy with us and he had to be back. Can't wait till the weekend... it is suppose to be nice all weekend... and as the kids have no school monday I am hoping to take it off as well!
