a few great days!


Hello all! been a great few days! lets see i will start from Thursday (long way back now) i put in the school ten polls 3 barrels 3 cones and a large bit of cardboard...so you want to know what i did with the ten polls 3 barrels 3 cones and a large bit of cardboard? well first i put 4 polls on the floor to make a sundial, i rested two on the barrels and one on the cone to make a odd looking squeeze game the large bit of white card on the floor i made a box out of the rest of the polls. and put a flag in one cone and a hula hoop just kinda chucked in there for more fun! i dragged someone else in with me lol and had all my lines and carrot sticks lined up, and of course went and got my trusty steed Merlin who came running up to have some fun! we started off on the sun dial he did a few good laps at trot both rains so..i went to the squeeze game which he has always had a bit of a problem with, he had about a 2ft gap to walk around, he was a bit worried at first a little bit of yo yo an he squeezed through and then squeezed again with out a problem so i left it as that for that day then we went to the box.. a box? what can you do with a box...? lets see... circle game stop in the box, yo yo in the box, sideways around the edge (didn't work out as great as i thought but was good for a first time) and porcupine the forehand and the hind quarters. i then went to the flag and did friendly with that! i then went to the cardboard now when i first got Merlin the cardboard made him total RBE was really scared i guess its about 6ft by 5 ft and haven't played with it much till i was more savvy, well ...he walked up to it and then stood on it and gave me the question..."this right?" lol. well then i asked him to circle and stop on it again he did and then just left it for a bit of lip licking as and then he decided to trash it lol by picking it up and playing with it :P so that had to go in the bin! after that i did a few steps backwards from zone five, then i did the falling leaf pattern. after all that we were in the zone lol and ready for some playing!! i started to run and of Merlin was right by my side! and i started running from left and right with Merlin in front of me so he was running left and right, i then did the yo yo game i back him up a Little then used my carrot stick and asked for a rear..and he did which is amazing! i love the feeling when you get in tune, very happy with what i had done that day we went and cantered back to the gate and walked into his stall the end of a great day...till tomorrow. Friday... well Friday i didn't have much time as i had been doing extra work so i went in the school played for a bit and then worked on liberty! was great fun he started doing circles around me without me holding the line,it was just resting on the floor.i asked for a turn backup and change direction without holding my 22ft line. was very very pleased with this so called it a day again. on Saturday...it rained all day and i was very wet and cold and didn't feel to well so i got Merlin in early and played in the stall fora bit. Sunday i went out and done some liberty in the field with him.so that's me kinda up to date on what i have done...i hope all that makes sense, if not never fear i will edit it later!
