Video lesson #2 with Kari Bowser

7/20/2014

I had my second video lesson with Kari today.
Here is what I need to work on with Brandy:

1. I need to look at her opposite hip instead of down when doing the hindquarter yield.

2. When she gets stuck at the yoyo game, I need to add more energy with the stick or flap my arms to help her get unstuck. Also when she takes one really good step, I should drop what I am doing and go rub her to let her know that was what I wanted.

3. At the circling game, when she changes direction without me asking her, I shouldn't make her feel wrong with a bump on the rope but just practice the change of direction instead.

4. I will start using more obstacles like cones, a hula hoop or a ball.

5. I need to focus on having more flow between games.

I had a video lesson with Kari Bowser, 1 star Parelli Professional, this week.

Kari is encouraging, helpful and easy to talk to.

Here is a list of some of things I learned:

-before asking Brandy to do something it is polite to bring my energy up to call her to me

-try to be in sync with her feet, so that one day she will be in sync with me instead of me being in sync with her

-at the yoyo game use my finger to send her backwards, not the popper, because when I am at liberty with Brandy I will not have it

-friendly game needs to be progressing more as I am not coming out of her comfort zone and she still is worried about the string touching zones 4 and 5

I like having video lessons with Kari because they help Brandy and me to progress in our Parelli journey.
