Yeah, I know...

I haven't been posting a lot. Because lots has been going on! What's up with Fabio? Well, Stage 4 is coming along nicely. He went through 2 days of the 'I hate you' mood, but it was probably my fault but very happily is fixed and have had a great session yesterday and today. We've been working on making sure we are ready for the demo we are doing with the Parelli Kids this weekend, one of the tasks we do is the 7 games to a song with 30 seconds to each game. To say the least, at the last practice I looked like giraffe trying to ride unicycle and Sundance looked like he had horns coming out of his head... It was fun having the feel of being ungraceful with a comedic touch! We looked and felt silly, but at least we were having fun. Now we have choreographed the 7 games in 30 second segments and look quite savvy and organized, Fabs likes it a lot too because it was a fun little puzzle so I have his cooperation 100% which is great. It's so much fun! We also have done some Finesse in the halter and bareback pad which is probably one of my favorites right now, it is SO much fun and Fabs likes it too because we haven't done it in a while.  We have to work on our Finesse and speeds within the gaits because of the patterns with have to do close contact with 12+ people and horses, that are mostly pleasure horses that move at the speed of a slug.  Sundance is learning to be a motivated bright slug, which is tons of fun. Here is a Parelli Kids video that shows some of the songs we will be performing to:
