Our First Parelli Play Day
07/04/2009 by admin.
What a fantastic day was had by all at our first ever Parelli Play day. There was a super turn out but best of all the weather was just perfect all day long.
We started the day in the school and newcomers were teamed up with horses and they started their friendly game with some grooming. They were then able to watch those who had played the games before.
We had Pat Gardiner (L2) from Kiltarlity come over and join us as a spectator and to meet us all for the first time. Pat has been playing with her horse for 6yrs and had some really interesting things to say. Pat met Elaine who stays not far from her so hopefully they will be able to get together for a Parelli blether! Elaine was playing with Murphy who is of similar horsenality to her own beautiful horse Felix that attended our L1 course with Alison Jones a few weeks ago.
There were also lots of kids playing with our mini Shetlands Swish and Bump and they all did a little of the first few games – well done guys!
In the afternoon we moved out of the school and into the woods at the bottom of the croft. There were all sorts of natural obstacles to play with there including fallen trees, old ruins, banks, ponds, ditches, and timber that we have cut from wind blown timber.
We are also hoping to get started shortly on some making permanent obstacles, that will be scattered all over the croft, for us to use on future play days. These will include sand boxes, a see saw, “waterfalls” of tarps strips and balloons suspended between trees, bridges and cross country jumps. In addition we will set up paddocks with flags, barrels, poly jumps, ground poles, upright bending poles for weaving through, tarpaulins on the ground, tyres, and pedestals.
