So today i learned a few things...
Dusty is what they call an Appendix horse, which is a thoroughbred x quarter horse, so that's cool. He's also 21 years old!!! He doesn't look it, or seem it.
This morning we looked at horsenalities in the classroom, and had a couple of demo's and simulations relating to each horsenality. It was very interesting to simulate what to do for a RBI and RBE...and what not to do! :-D
Pat and Linda came home last night, and Pat and Caton came in to the classroom this morning to say hey! That was hella cool. He told us a bit about the ranch, how it started and got to how it was today and all that.
This afternoon we had workshops. Basically we had 4 different stations, with an obstacle at each, for example, a ball and a tarp. The faculty were around to help us read the horses and find out what strategy to use to help us. I had a really great afternoon with Dusty. We didn't really do much, but what we did, i was able to observe and remember, and compare to previous days. So that was cool. It's very difficult really making myself just observe...and to not ask too much of him. The point is not to go through the games this week, it's to observe his behaviour and really understand his horsenality. I also hung around to watch some of the faculty play with their horses, which is, of course, very inspiring.
That's about it for today! If there is anything small that anyone would like from the parelli shop, email me privately, and i will see if i can get it organised :-) They still have some iron on logo's. They are quite large...the 'Savvy' one and the parelli with horseheads one. Anyway, let me know. Saves on postage.

Oh cool! Great her from me! Yes, she's extremely nice and she's got nice horses.
Anyway, the yummie guy has got exams - apparently apart from good-looking, talented and nice, he is smart too - so he's not coming back soon. I'm back to waving and grinning at all the sulky drivers and jockeys here. (This place is sooo black stallion, but right, you didn't read those books...)
And now I'll stop polluting your blog with silly nonsense... :p
Hey, those simulations would have been pretty useful for me yesterday !
Summer, Lorraine and Carey playing and going crazy in the sandschool with an agitated Frankie watching Summer with his mares.
I solved the potential problem though playing the catching game at the right time. Lorraine was a dream for me - i was so excited at getting it right, but it was also easy cos she made things very clear for me.
I like your horses more and more Elle.
