Horse Sense....
It's getting really exciting here now!
Mumma's getting close, but she said until this rain passes there will absolutely be NO foal.
I can understand that, it's bloody cold here when that wind's up. However, on a positive note, we are in the process of getting our old mini stables up and running. By mini I mean, they're outdoor stables, but only 2 of them and they need work. Lots of work. So, that's what we are doing, getting everything ready so that if Mumma does need one, it's there for her and Boo.
We thought about putting a Tie up in, complete with metal pole bit, like my friends up the road, but it worked out that in the end I didn't want to.
There were a few reasons for this, but it came down to this one little thing...magic.
Let me explain:
Belle is awesome. As a filly she is everything that I could have asked for. She is extremely healthy, strong, good confirmation, great personality and she is open and aware. She is also mentally on her game and once asked, is extremely quick to learn things. And she likes humans.
Super happy with her.
But I put a lot of this down to how she was raised. Not just the NON soy food (I'm never going to get off my soap box re this) but Touch/play. That means literally going in the paddock every day and spending time with her. Actually, I feed out every day, twice in the first few months and always twice at home, but I don't do Touch/play every day. Anyway, I went in, touched her head, neck, back, tummy, tail, lifted hooves, got her used to brushes and stuff, did head collars, got her used to ropes and I learnt how her muscles moved, when her bones were sore from growing, when she had muscle knots, and through the time we spent together Belle learnt how to keep her horse/human door open.
Nice.
However, we did this all in the paddock.
No leads, halters or ropes on heads.
We also did it with Mumma standing beside us. Again, no leads, halters or ropes on head.
And this is why ultimately, I decided against the Tie up.
If I change everything round and have Mumma in Tie up and work with Little Boo next to her, I'm changing how we work. I've never worked in a Tie up with Belle to get her to do what I want. Yes, she has leant how to be in a Tie up and yes, you have seen me with her in the Tie up but that was way later, around 6-7 months, not at the beginning when I worked to keep the horse/human door open.
What if the working freestyle in the paddock with everyone running around free, what if that free choice is the magic?
Take away the free choice, take away the magic.
No professional, steel rod type Tie up.

So the funniest thing is how this Silver Cord is working.
There the young one and I were again this morning, like every morning in the middle of the bloody night, text chatting. First I was sleeping then Boom! wide awake. Well, anyway there we were chatting about his new flat and him setting it up, and the next minute he goes, Wait...why are you awake?
Now bear in mind, we're always talking at roughly the same time, somewhere between 1.45 and 4.30 am, but anyway, today he noticed.
I was like, Actually, I wasn't. I was fast asleep, then I heard your Energy, checked the phone, replied to your text. But it's ok, when we've finished, I'll just roll over and go back to sleep.
Silence while the young one mulled that over.
Then he went, Ok and just carried on talking!
But you know, I'm not tired. Technically with this unbroken sleep I should be either having trouble getting back to sleep, or tired during the day. I am neither. I literally roll over and am in a deep sleep within seconds, and I feel fine during the day.
No nana naps needed.
It's the oddest thing in the Universe though, watching my body clock re-set itself to accomodate a new time zone, and brings up new questions about frequencies, distance and souls, both human and horse.

And people think I'm bonkers with the foals at the moment.
I'm teaching them how to walk, trot, stop and back freestyle.
The first time someone saw me doing it they were like, Are the foals out? Is the fence down?
Nope.
I briefly explained my concept and said that we didn't look very clever doing it right now. Actually, we might even look a bit muppety, but not to worry, we were ok.
Everyone was, Ok...
So we're a few days down the track now and to be honest, we're still messy but we are making movements forward.
I got that brief glimpse today, that split second moment when the girls went, Oh...you want us to do this....
Boom, baby.
****
No go today. The girls were full of the joy of life and nothing, unless it was hooning it round the paddock at full tit, was keeping their attention.
Note to self: too much O.
****
First day sunbathing!
Whooo!
****
Today was also supposed to be hot, sunny and shiny but no. Mumma was like, I am not taking my jacket off and you can't make me....
****
And the foals are up to no good.
You can hear it in their Energy and failing that, when I went to see them today they were standing at the fence just having a munch, which overall is nothing to worry about, however, then they were, Nothing to see here, Tania...
OMFG they're planning on jumping the fence.

So that's been our week:
It's exciting now, I love this time. I'm working super hard on my food. Still not 100%, but will be running close to it by the end of this week. I have to have a clear frequency with the Clair-senses now so it's full on and to be fair, I love the clearness. I just also like sugar. It's a fine line, kiddo. Anyhou, moving right along, so much Spirit you're almost tripping over them, lots of finalization to make sure that everything is in place for Boo and joy. There has been, and continues to be, joy.
Did I ever tell you about my brother Andy, who died in the mines? He was a miner, like we all were, or had been. I was up living in Auckland with your Nana by then. But this day there was a cave in, he wasn't working, but he lived close and some of his friends were trapped. He went to help.
There was a second cave in.
