Went out to the barn early and moved Parelli toys behind the round pen.
Then went to see Try in her pasture. Began thankfulness time sitting on log and Try came to me within a couple seconds and we breathed on each other. I thought she might be ready to play then but she was not--so played with liberty--GM then quickly into alignment--she was great by the 2nd attempt so asked for catch the thought part 1 which was lovely. Put halter on and into barn for grooming.
Barn: high energy level with guest farrier doing Richmond's feet--stallion and scarey smells for Try. She was uncharacteristically a bit up and nervous. Left for ring and a lovely ride--decided to ride there as I thought Try would enjoy riding with Ramone more than being in her pasture with Lexie tho Lexie was good about leaving Try alone today.
Took plenty of time to warm up--walk/little jog/walk/suppling etc. Then a couple of laps of trot, some nice cantering.
Finished with more B Me--GM good, alignment-good, catch the thought part 1 fabulous, part 2 softening and bringing head in/down from the chest I am confused a few tries but not so good on my part--need to review. Went on to direct the shoulder for the first time--in the beginning Try offered other stuff and was confused--then I helped her a little with lead--she got it, quickly rewarded the thought and 2nd time was fantastic. Quit--treat--goooood girl--session over.
Back to the barn--second farrier had arrived--both ends of the barn blocked--got Try in, tack off, brush--Try nervous then back out to her pasture and visit/dwell time.
