Old Parelli Level 2 Liberty and Online Test

August 22, 2012Posted inAmazon book, Country Frank's Lucky Star, Missouri Fox Trotter, Sue - How Do You Do!
I remember these tasks as being hard. That was a long time ago.  I looked in the Susan FoxTrotter book to see what these tasks are.  Heck, they are simple. They might be simple, but with Lucky, they are not easy.  Let's talk about the circle game.  I'll have to look again to see how many laps on the 22' line Lucky Star has to maintain. At the moment, we are happy if he maintains one lap at a gait other than stop. He has to be on the end…

Spontaneous Outbreak Of Joy

It happened tonight.  It was downtown small town America. Everyone was there.  It was Cruise Night in Pleasant Hill. After the blistering months of heat, it was nice. Rock band squalling in the empty lot.  Lawn chairs, people chatting, groups walking, old cars every where you could see.  Oh it was nice. Spouse and I found our car friends and that's when it happened. The lead singer was a woman. The song came out of the band. She started screaming Bobby McGee.  Oh Lord.  My body twitched to the raucous…

Wrong Way Horse

Lucky Star and I are in the middle of the forty acre field at Pine Dell Farm. Lucky gets to ride with his girlfriend, Lady. Lucky has been in the outdoor arena and the playground, but we 've never rode out into the field. Lucky took the lead to the east. In fact, he wanted to run for the far-away horizon. His girlfriend was content to stay behind him. I decided making an S shape pattern was sufficient to slow him down. Horses are  not supposed to want to run…

Sue and Lucky

My new goal is to do the old level 2 online and liberty with Lucky Star. Heck, thought I. I'll just do these two variety tasks with both Lucky and Sue at the same time. Hence we all went to Pine Dell!  My it's fun to play with two different horses in the round pen! I've let Sue get horribly fat. She gains weight by looking at grass. She doesn't have to eat it. Sue is a bay. She has chocolate black legs. Lucky looks a lot like Sue except…

Lucky Star Heaven

Lucky couldn't believe it when he got out of the trailer at Pine Dell and his Lady Love and his bestest friend aMuir walked up to meet him. Wonder of Wonders- he got into the trailer and both Lady an aMuir got him with him! Melissa, Kelley and I went to the park. Tonight the excited Go-Forward-with-great-enthusiasm showed up. AMuir led, Lady was next and Lucky behind. Immediately, we saw our first deer twice. He bounded out of the corn field and appeared later when we turned a corner. Shooi.…
