Meet Ms Hope!

That's right! 8 horses now. Hope is an Extreme LBI. she used to be the leader in her herd and she does not like that I am now the leader. she has already went after our dog trying to stomp her brains out. and went after Blaze. today I have been teaching her the 7 games and she doesn't know how to move against pressure very well. but we are playing with it. she is very very smart. I have a great challenge on my hands. she is 5 years old. and she has many breeds mixed into her. she is part saddle bred. part arab. part QH. and Tobiano paint. so she has one horsenality for sure. she is the same size as Blaze. I have already had a short ride on her and she was pretty good I must say!

I've got big plans for her.

anyways! here she is!


and here you can see that ear




well there ya go! another member to the family!

now things that has been going on lately
I have been forther advancing Me and Blaze's Freestyle and Finesse. I have especially avoided finesse long enough. anyways. I have taught Blaze to put his head down at the walk and Trot. and we have gained allot of control at freestyle since then. Blaze can now spin. it isn't to fast but it is getting better. Finesse has been amazing. I have been using a halter cause we are not ready for a bridle right now. (plus I wouldn't use one til I had a cradle anyways)

Blaze is super Light. I can just hold the reins with my pinkie and he will collect him self at the walk and trot. and his cater is getting allot lighter too. our haunches in has been getting better too. taking it nice and slowly.

I've bee riding angel some lately and she is coming along very well. were playing with main taining gaits and direction.

Joy is a little goof ball. I have been playing on the ground with her and also riding her some. she is coming along very very well for her age.

Midnight and I had a fun little session the other day. OK I'll take back "little session" because it was a almost 3 hour session. we played in he little paddock. and played with his respect because he thinks he can just stick his QHs in my face and walk off. so I taught him not to leave unless I let him. and we played with the trailer got all 4 feet in! and then I rode him for about 2 hours and we played with standing still. which was hard because he was away from the rest of the herd and he wanted his way ad wanted to g back up there. so he try ed to buck me off a few times but I just stayed with him til he stood still.

also. Tonight My mom came in here and told me we might be getting this free horse that is about a mile away from here. we see this horse everyday on our way to work. and poor thing is in a tiny pen with another horse and it is just dirt. they keep hay out but it isn't enough so she is kinda skinny. I hope we can get her because if we don't she will go to someone that might treat her bad. *crossing fingers*

sorry I have been horrible keeping this updated. been real busy. will keep it updated for now on

how was Lakeland FL?

I"ve been asked this question allot. and it went amazing!! we got there Thursday at 1 pm. and was greeted by someone that we all know ;) Mariah Helms :) and we got all signed in and got Blaze a paddock. and Blaze was scared and RB to be in a new Place. Blaze's stall was under the parelli tent with there Horses :) they told us how everything was Gonna Go. we got to practice that night in the arena. and Blaze was RB in there cause he's never been in a indoor arena. but once we played more he got to be his self. and blew some socks off. with the people that worked for Parelli. the Celebration started Friday and it was Great the spotlighters were awesome. really really enjoyed them allot. we got to practice in the arena again that night. I started getting nervous. because I knew I knew I KNEW Blaze wasn't gonna be as good as he was in practice cause there was other horses in there. anyways Mariah and Holly's spotlight was awesome they both did Great! I was the last freestyle. and it went just like I knew it would. Blaze got RB and I got on and then Pat asked us to get off and gave us a lesson.


after we calmed Blaze down Pat gave us one song and Blaze did Pretty Good. and I wasn't disapoited. because has nothing to prove to Pat or the crowd. Linda Parelli and allot of the others know Blaze and know what he can really do. so I was fine and just super happy and proud of Blaze cause it did go better than I thought it would. Linda was so sweet. she I was Happy that we could finally meet. she's said before that she couldn't wait to meet me and Blaze so I was Happy. and she is so Nice. me and Mariah and Me had a Great Time practiceing and getting pictures together. she is such a nice person. and Blaze totally loved sundance he is such a sweet Horse



and Mirka Mirka WOW!!!!!!!!!! she is amazing and SOOOOOO Nice and helped me and Blaze spin. she blew everyones socks off with her Horse Magie. got her L6 ribbon! was the only one who did. and was awesome.

Preparing for Lakeland!

WOW! we Have so much to Get ready!! this is Gonna be ALLOT Harder then I thought it was O.O! I say this because Parelli wants you to Bring allot! ad our Trailer is not big enough....But we might be able to find a bigger trailer by then (Hopefully)

so here is Parelli's Check list

-Riding Clothes - Whatever you plan to ride in - jeans, jodhpurs, boots, long and short sleeve

The Parelli program is very much about safety with horses and this is a simple requirement to
make sure we succeed. CHECK


-Grooming Tools and Supplies - Brushes, Soap, etc. We don’t reward or recommend that you lip your horse especially the muzzle or inside the ears. We also strongly suggest that you clean
with natural grooming products not containing artificial conditioners such as silicon. CHECK but Need some soap!



-Manure Fork, Wheelbarrow/Bucket, Broom, Water Hose CHECK


-Feeding Supplies - Grain, Hay, Feed & Water Buckets, Scoops, Supplements, Treats, etc. CHECK




-Video Camera - CHECK




Now here is my little Plan to mae this trip really fun
I was talking to my brother last Night and I came up with this neat idea. My trip down there and getting there and practicing Just about EVERYTHING is gonna be on film! (if my brother will film for me) then if that happens I'm gonna make it like a movie so y'all can see EVERYTHING that happened! from when we left, from stopping on the way, to when we gt there, etc etc.


I think it's gonna be fun!
I can't wait!

quick update on Blaze
I played at liberty with him the other day and he was AMAZING!!! he is learning new things everyday!


OK that's all for now

Perfected Sitting!

Today we had to bring Blaze to the Vet for His coggins and health Certificate and shots etc. so when we got there Blaze was real good for the vet, and before That the Blaze kept pawing, so when the vet was done I asked him to do the spanish walk, cause he wanted a treat, so the vet thought Blaze was being snotty, and he was like "wait, did you ask him to do that?" and I said yes, and he was like "oh sorry" and his assitant said what else can he do? and I said he can rear lay down and sit, etc etc. an she said OH can I see him lay down? and I said sure! and when we got Blaze there he was RB wondering what was going on, and by then he was fne. so anyways I got him to lay down and they said COOL! and then when I gothim to sit they were in shock! the vet said Blaze was amazing!!

and later on The vet called woundering were he could find my videos on youtube LOL


here isa pic when we were at the vet

On line and Freestyle

Lately I have been playing On line and allot of Freestyle
and Our On line is Fantastic! He'll canter as many laps as I want him to on the 45 foot line (with me standing in place relaxed) but of course I don't ask him ever to canter over 5 laps because I know if I were him I wouldn't want to canter allot of laps. lol. I've also been doing allot of long line driveing, and he is just about perfect at it!! our figure 8 is beautiful!! just like in the L4 patterns figure 8. how Pat barely moves at all, just back and forth. so he has that down pat ;) and been doing allot of circleing game with long lines, and he is Great! will walk trot canter backup. (he'll back up 2 laps!)


and Our freestyle is coming along very nicely! I no longer have to worry about him cantering or trotting to fast! Just trying to get him to really understand my body Language more than my legs. and yesterday I fell off him. and hit the drive way real hard. and got hurt, but I'm in some pain, but i'll heal quick!


just a quick update
