Tickled Pink!

The last two days have been pretty awesome!  Had some great rides with Gwen, I passed Parelli Level One online, and I got my pink Savvy String in the mail from Emily! Plus, I'm now starting a nice long week of vacation for the holidays, and I get to stay right in town and play with Gwen the whole time! Whoohoo!! What could be better than Christmas and horses?!

I'm not quite sure how to get my PDF audition summary on here... hrm.  At work I can save PDF files as images, but apparently my laptop is not as cool. Oh well!  Here's the breakdown:

Close up.



 I braided it into a piece of her mane, so that it wouldn't fall down near her head when she was grazing.

I didn't get any pictures of her with the pink string while riding. I didn't to risk it getting under the saddle blanket while we were trotting, and possibly hurting her, so I kept it on me as a belt. :)

Happy Holidays!
