July 5

I stayed out at my riding Instructor's house watching her dog and feeding her horses while she went on a trip. I got to spend some undemanding time with Missy and I also introduced the carrot stick (Parelli Natural Horsemanship tool). She's pretty nervous about it, but that will go away in time! She was a little wary of my notebook that I took out to her corral, the pages were flapping a little and the noise was bothering her. I also got to do a Horsenality chart on her and she is pretty much all over the chart (understandably, she is only 3!) but more of her little dots are in the Right Brain Introvert and Right Brain Extrovert sides. I took the flysheet off to brush her so now it's time to put it back on! Oh boy! This could be an adventure doing it all by myself!!! I think I'll play lots of the friendly game with it and just try to get her to be comfortable with it flapping around. Missy seems to be mildly curious today, maybe she is getting used to me finally!
