>>>> I had one horse (Sina's mother) who absolutely refused to go in circles. (I had a girl from Germany trying to lunge her.) And I must say that I secretly congratulated her - more power to her; she is too smart to consent to do something stupid.
And, I can see that in Sina too - she doesn't suffer fools quietly I think! But, Virginia, Sina was the first horse that really sparked my enthusiasm for the Parelli Games. She was the Seven Games Star of this community, because they give you hints to make it fun. It's not just about rote circles or backing, etc. - or it shouldn't be. It should be fun for both of you. I didn't have to be reminded to play friendly game when she'd do something right - I'd just giggle in pride at her quickness, and she loved the praise and attention. It was a joy. I don't think I ever really enjoyed groundwork before, but I have ever since. You'll figure this out. I know you will. :) Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
