What A LBI

Today I did some liberty with blaze. and i started thinking The song the song that I'm gonna use if they pick me for the savvy spotlight. so I chose liberty and freestyle if I get to do a nother song I chose Freestyle for the next song. And Blaze was being So LBI I got him to Circle around me at liberty (Close circle) and going to the Right was Good! and then I asked for the Left. and he put his ears back and acted like he was gonna Kick me lol. then I was like OK you not Gonna do that. and I Asked for the trot and he wasn't to happy about it he would go half a Circle then stop so every time he would do that I would say nope keep going and about 10 Min's later he Finally did 1 Circle! Yay! then I stoped that.

Then I moved on to a Figure 8 (at liberty) and each turn he would stop and look at the cone and I would have to ask him to come more to me and keep going. and he did end up doing a figure 8 without stoping and I was like Good boy! then I said how about the weave pattern and WOW he was good got a walk and trot.

so I ended it by trimming his hoofs giving him a treat and there you go that was my day. Until next time my savvy Friends

Keep it Natural!

How Interesting!!!

Today I played with Spirit trying to get him on a Tire filled with dirt. so he kept stepping over it trying his best not to try. so I got a couple of try es. so I but the lead rope around his leg and asked him to step up and he did! so he got off and started backing away. and Blaze was watching the whole time! so he came down the hill looked at me and spirit and got on the tire like this is how you do it LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dropped my mouth!!!!! unbelievable I mean Really!!!! a LBI coming to you when you didn't ask and not even playing with him and gets on the tire??????????? someone was Jealous!!!

so I said well I guess I'll play with you since you offord. and man he was Happy!!!! so I got on him with just a halter and 12 foot line made them into 2 reins. and did some simple stuff trying to get my balance better at the trot canter bareback. and so I started doing simple leads in a figure 8 and I got him to do 2 Flying lead changes WOW!!!!!!!!!!! HE OFFERD!!!!!!!!!!!!! so I said OK OK this is good!!!! so I started doing side passes walk was really good!! and what was so cool is that he was offering a soft feel this was amazing. so I started doing a side pass at the trot going from right to left etc. and what was so cool about that was he has such a fast trot ALL THE TIME and his trot was very slow and very balanced which was really cool.


and here we go the canter he has a fast canter and in the SS it shows swinging the shoulders and he did that for me! got him to side pass at the canter to the right and left which he hates anything on his Left side being done. so I got the 12 foot line off while I was on his back and I put it around his leg and he layed down!!!!!!!!!!! I know he's done it before but not so easy! so I got off and sat there a few minuets and I pushed him all the way down and we both lay ed all the way down and that was really neat he was happy he offered everything and I didn't have to force anything on him ,


so I guess in the end when it's his Idea to play he will be more happy!

Great Session

Today was Really good!

I started out doing figure 8s cause Blaze was Reilly RB and wanting to go so we started at the walk and he said he wanted to go faster! so I said OK go! and he started slipping cause the ground was wet so I was like um OK not a good idea,

then I moved on to follow the rail pattern for level 3 in finesse. and I did it on the outside of the round pen and blaze kept drifting away and I put him back and after 3 circles he got it. so I went to the right did the same thing so I moved up to the trot and he was really good! and moved to the canter he was wanting to go waaaaaaaaaaaaaay tooooooooooo fast so I kept makeing him slow down and after a bit he did really good and slow so I stop ed. then did some freestyle riding bridle less and wow at first he was like were GOING AND I SAID OK I'M HANGING ON TIGHT and he calmed down after I let him do what he wanted so there you go I stoped fed him and that's about it

Until next time may the horse be with you!

How I got Blaze and Fire. And found Parelli!

this is how I got Blaze and fire first Blaze was like 9 I think I'm not even sure if he's 13 I just guessed but anyway and I got him in 2004 I think anyway....... we got midnight and star first but I was just learning to ride I didn't no what parelli was just thought all you could do with a horse is ride anyway..... we got a new farrier cause the other I think messed up spirit feet up or wasn't good with them etc...so we hired Troy. and my mom told him how we were looking for a pony or a young horse so I could grow up with it. and he said he had 2 pony's for sale so we went to his house and first I saw fire cause the pony's were fire and blaze.....so I saw fire first he was SO skinny and scared so I didn't know he was a mustang....so I saw blaze I said I want him didn't do anything with him just saw him out in a pasture and the first word my mom said was do you like his color? I said YES lol...so he saddle blaze up not very nicely tho anyway I was riding him around (STILL a newbie) and the first thing blaze did was try and rub me off against the fence almost did to and I didn't care I wanted him. so later on I saw fire and I went up to him got in his tiny pen and went up to him (not tamed) and I still didn't know he was wild and just start petting his head I started going down his shoulder and NP and Troy walked out there and said you know that horse hasn't ever been touched down his face right I said no....later on I asked my mom why hasn't he ever been touched anywhere really she said because he a mustang I SAID WHAT!!!!!! and she said that why troy was amazed but on the drive home I said please please can I get them both and she was like we can't offord it so I said OK my Birthday is close fire was $100 I said ok I'll just buy fire not blaze cause blaze was $700 and i was like i really want blaze but I'll just get fire so the next day I looked out side and there was a horse trailer and it looked like my dads so my dad was at work I went down there and troy was putting blaze and fire in the pen we had I was like Oh MY Gosh THANK You so the next day I rode Blaze with my mom was watching it and he was doing OK he was RBE which parelli way for a horse is scared and I wasused to LBIs which is confident so a few weeks later I said can I ride by my self (first time) she said OK so I went got him saddle up and on I went. I had spit reins sooo.....um well I dropped one and Blaze wouldn't stop that about scared me to deth.so I was watching horse shows all the time oh boy try ed lunging all that crap and blaze just wouldn't listen all he new was forward backwards etc heck I thought it was cool if someone could back there horses far. so one day I was watching RFD TV and I saw parelli on and I watched it and was like WOW I want to do that they were playing with 2 demo horses that had problems and I was like wow! they were talking about how horses don't have personalities they have horsenality's I was like huh? horse sa what lol so anyway for hat Christmas I got level 1 of parelli program real basic stuff and so I moved on to level 2 then level 3 which I'm almost done now!

so that is how I got Blaze and Fire

Thank's Fran

I would Just like to say thank you Fran for helping me be a better me and being such and inspiring person you awesome amazing cool brilliant and a fanatic Friend just one of the best people I have ever met in my life and I mean every word

and I hope you do Great at the course and i REALLY HOPE you pass level 3 it's time for you to be done with level 3

Fun Fun!!!!!!

well. the first of the year has started off Great! I've been playing more with finesse. and I learned one Lesson. and that is......the other day when I played with Blaze before I rode him. which I was gonna do a finesse session. anyway. when I got on he was doing Really well he was listening to me and having a great soft feel which was very nice. I even try ed cantering and he did such a beautiful Canter. wow awesome feeling. so today I didn't play with him before I start playing with finesse and it did not go so well he was with his head...tossing/chewing the bit/wanting to buck etc... so anyway the lesson I learned was that if I do a warm up and get him playing with me that finesse is allot easy er.

well going to bed night all happy new year

great day and interesting to!

today was the perfect day I would say.! started off trying to teach blaze to lay down different was didn't work out. so I said OK I'll try that a norther day. so I got on blaze and got Angel and played 7 games from horse back and that went pretty good got angel to go over jumps logs tarp etc. then when I was done with angel I thought I would do a freestyle ride with blaze just having the halter and 12 foot lead on. and had such a nice ride did some really cool stuff I can't tell yet cause it will be in my video

thanks for reading I'll be putting my video up when I'm done!

savvy Hannah out!!!

Videoing lol

well today I was getting blaze ready to go up to the house were Elijah could film me so I played with him just getting him ready to cross the dam which he most of the time stops and stops over and over again so I was playing and I saw an awesome video today were this girl was laying her horse down and then standing on his back and playing the friendly game! so I said hey I can lay blaze down why won't I try? so I did and he was awesome didn't even try to get up.

so time to cross the dam and he will try to turn around allot and stop or something and this time he was very confident and didn't even try to turn or stop I was like wow someone woke up on the good side of the pasture today!

then I got Elijah to film some and Blaze started to say no I'm not gonna you can't make me yeah just being plane LBI and testing me so I kept with it and BOOM he tyred so I stoped for the day and it was great we had a good time!

Crapy day

well here we go shall we

time to vent Today I had a plan or so I thought that plan was to have a great day

well I wanted to get all 4 hoofs on this tire i had filled with dirt. so I started off pretty goof front feet on then I try the back HA he did every trick in the book and he won and I was mad so I said OK just back feet every trick again so long story short I won but it wasn't pretty and I shouldn't have done what i did i should have stooped well I least I know what I did wrong well now I guess I can learn from it

so Hannah out for now

what a day not in a good way:(

today started out like any day ..

so I go to the pasture like any other day but today I was going to teach Blaze to law down while I'm on his back! and that went well and easy.

so I had 3 horses that the hoofs needed to be file down so I started off with Angel and she was really good and my back started hearting cause i have back problems. so then i started on spirit and he wanted to put on a little fight taking his foot away and then he pulled one time and his hoof hit my head OUCH! so then i just kept going and then my hip pops out and back in OUCHHHH!!!!!! SO I like this hearts Reilly bad but I need to finish this. then joy kept coming over to me like what you doing and I kept have to shu her away then about time I was done with spirit

then last one Joy 1 year old QH mare oug she wanted to put up a fight to so I just kept playing with her so she Finlay started to stand still and her hoofs are so hard to file and it took like 15 minutes to finish her hoofs and that was just her front so I was fed then went back to the house

then I had to get ready for karate

so then I get there and my Karate teacher started using me and a crash dummy and oy did that hert but I pretty good with pain now.
so then I had to fight Chelsea she most of the time a good control but tonight she hit me hard in the neck spranged my foot and I never said anything to them that it spanged my foot cause came on I'm like I'm tuff so then I wake up the next day and boy that was pain full but oh well my time of venting is over

till next time Hannah out

Phase inside a phase hmmmm

I never thought of this till I looked at Fran's blog about phase inside a phase hmmmm I started thinking about this, so the next day I was going to do the normal phase one that i do and i see Blaze tail swishing ALLOT! and so I lowered my hand and guess what no swishing,

so I went to the same phase with the circling game and swishing again so I did less and he gave me more!. so I'm like well this is great so i need to do lower phases with him!

thanks Fran for that blog!
