Here is something that Cherish and I are struggling on: Our rapport. I have her heart, now I just need her feet. I think I am going to get my mom to take a video of me playing the Circling game with her, because whenever I play it with her and go into a trot or faster... Disaster strikes! I need to figure out what's causing it. I will send it in, because (until the end of the year) we have a Gold membership that was... Unfortunately wasted. We didn't get the chance to go to any Celebrations, Tour Stops, or Festivals... no Parelli Professionals... and the Mastery Manuals were too advanced for us. I wish I could afford to have a lesson with even just a One Star PP, but I don't have an instructor close or the money. Sigh.

Slowly, we're getting there... except for the Circling Game. That's the only thing that hasn't really improved.

Of course... Today while I was playing with Finale, I was wondering if it was me. Finale has never been messed with much, never really given any "out of the ordinary bad" experiences. We just brought her home about a month ago, and I haven't been able to play with her as much as I would have liked. When playing the Circling Game today, she became just like Cherish acts. I think it's me. So... I'm going to send the video in, and see if it is me, which I wouldn't be surprised at at all.

Hey, it's a learning experience. Might as well delve into it instead of being frustrated by it.
