Back at home

So far I have seen a huge difference in Annabelle. She has so much exuberance that I'm not used to. She came to me today when I whistled to her it was so cute, 3rd day in a row. I miss my Parelli lease saddle a lot. It's going to be hard to find something has good. Wish I could buy one. Going to be helping out with a rescue and their horses I'm excited for that it will be a great experience. I'm going to continue to write in my blog as much as possible. Thanks again everyone for all the support.

We passed!

We did pass our fast track (sorry for those of you who don't have a Facebook) I was so carried away I forgot to post it on our blog. Back home now made it safe and sound and Annabelle has been amazing when we played today we had so much fun.

Day 25- Fast track final day

Wow I have very exciting news so it's hard to write about what a crappy day I have had! Lol. Sorry dor no post yesterday we went to the hot a
Springs! Annabelle was able to participate in the testing, however I was riding a bomb. First off we were walking to warm up and she strikes out. So I tried to disengage her and do some friendly and driving point to point I never got the chance she started rearing striking bucking kicking so for a min I had to let her run around. Then I sent her over the cavelettis it wasn't long before she realized that she couldn't canter or go crazy over them. So I got her more connected. We trailer loaded and she didn't go in all the way but I rewarded her try. Then we did circle game which was really good when the coach wasn't looking and really bad when she was our liberty was AMAZING I got my flying changes lead by the tail and sideways from zone 1. The our sideways from zone 3 from point to point online was awful. Jumping over the barrels were really good hardly any hesitation in my 45 foot line. After lunch I felt terrible my mom thinks I had a heat stroke. And the riding was terrible I couldn't keep her still she wanted to go go go and I couldn't get the connection. Most things were really bad but we have made some really big improvements. I personally have made some huge improvements. Excited to go home. Test scores are tomorrow Oh yeah I didn't forget about the exciting news :) I have been offered and interview about my journey with Annabelle. I will post the site.
