My own lil christmas!!!

WEll last night i got my starter kit from the Parelli Savvy Club I got back to the car and was sooooo excitd my kids kept sayin what did you get... We went out for supper and took it all out of the box and wow... I am sooooo incredibly excited to really get going on this... I got one dvd with my pack and another aside from it.. and I just about finished them both.... so needless to say I am a little tired this morning... But I thought they were just fantastic... I also got three journals... So I am not sure if I wanna share with the kids as they go through their journey... The kids are learning all this and watcing it all with me it is great that we can share this all together...Anyways aside from that... I have missed the last two evenings to play with the horses but over the weekend we did play lots... Brianna has really been bugging to not only watch she wants to participate so I reluctently gave her a parelli halter and 12' rope and lher and I went out to catch horses... I have kinda forgotten how the catching game works... so we kinda just went out there and did some approach and retreat until they were ok with us... So I got my mare Blondie and had my son hold her as I 'coached' my daughter to catch her horse Cassie...I showed her how to do the friendly game with the halter and then halter her parelli style... She was grinin ear to ear... so then as my son ran back to get our brushes I allowed her to lead her around a litlle and just get comfortable... i was a little shocked to see that Cassie was completly relaxed... So maybe I need to relax a little.... Cassie has been to a level one 5 day course with Don Halladay in March of 2004... so she does need a little refreshing... She did very well with the kids brushing her and Bri cleaned her hoofs... My camera battery died so I didn't get any pics... Blondie did so well i was sooo impressed she didn't spook... very curious and a little cautious... but i took her over to the swing set/jungle thinge and we played the squeeze game under the swinging monkey bars that had a rope swagged between them... and i took her through/between two actual swingsthat were no more tha six inches apart... she did super... she remembered all the games even picking up the feet from the same side... so that went well although our porcupine game will need alot of work... Now i need a confined area(round pen or arena) to start riding in... not sure what i am gonna do there... i have electrical fencing but the snow is already on the ground and i don't know if that is a good idea and a steal one may be costly! This weekend is gonna be alittle busy but I really hope I get to go play again! I sooooo love my horses!!!!
