I am the luckiest girl I know. Here is an early November photo of Violet and Hailee. And I am writing this entry on November 30th, Sunday evening. I work with Hailee on desensitizing her to touch and lunging. But I am getting ready to work on Parelli with her. She is still a very fear-based mare, so she poses fun challenges for me. Violet, on the other hand, is rock solid and a true intelligent joy. She wants to very much to please and to get things right. I can just feel her anticipating what I want and reading the social scene. She looks for commands and she just wants to leap into the work. She's good at everything -- lunging, Cavesson work, Parelli, low-level dressage. She's my blessing and good intelligent lovely patient girl!
