As much as I have needed to slow down to address the emotional and mental needs of my horse, I have not slowed down in other areas.
I am pleased to say that I have taken quite a few trips with my trailer, on my own and manage to reverse park, hitch and unhitch without too much trouble. I am no way proficient yet but slowly my confidence is building up. I have now to learn how to change the tires and apparently I have to grease the nipples??? because the trailer is a bit noisy. No idea what that means, didn't know that trailers had nipples but I'm sure I'll find out.
Although I haven't start videoing yet, I have just purchase a super duper camera that does video as well and I am now in the process to learning how to use it. There is a whole CD of instructions to read! Not my favorite thing to do, I usually get my son to do it and explain it all to me but now that he is at College I have no choice.
The saving money part of my new year resolution has been a total fiasco so far, tax bills, kids at college...
Finally, I am slowly translating my horse savvy into human savvy. My husband and I were chatting the other day and I caught myself saying:"Don't make assumptions"
I am also getting better at reading people horsenality and treating them accordingly. For intance my husband is a LBI who becomes RBI under pressure and then you can be sure there will be an explosion! My daughter is also LBI but she becomes even more introverted under pressure but when things are just right she can be LBE!
It's been super hot here weather wise so I have been spending a lot of time hiding away in front of my computer on Parelli Connect as well as reading people's blog on Parelli Central. I have also been watching the horseman apprentice series 1 which I got as a Christmas present. A great way to learn more savvy!
