Phew, it was hot today!

Eating tilapia! Even the food is great here!!

Today went well again!

Our classroom sessions were very interesting again. We talked about the 8 principles. Then, TADA! In walks Mr. Pat Parelli himself!!!!!! With Dr. Miller and his wife!!!!! So double awesomeness!!!!!!! He just said hello to everyone and asked where everyone was from and then they had to leave again, so we could get back to class.
Then we're out with our demo and I look up from my conga horse and there's Linda towering over us with Remmer!!! We were in the middle of the conga, so we couldn't really stop and stare, haha. But super awesome!!
Oh, conga horses, Totally fun!!!! Hahah, it's such a laugh! We should definetly do more of that at home!!!
I'm already getting the reputation of the girl with all the energie. The older ladies tell me that they love watching me run with Blue as fast as I can through the fields, so that's nice. And then my other friend, who held Blue for me while I ran into the store said that she'd never seen a horse so attached :):):) Blue was trying to find me and head into the store :) Everytime I'd yell out to say that I was almost done, Blue would try and find me again. So she finally told me to be still, because she'd have to get Blue resettled each time. Extremely nice compliments!!! I'm totally flattered!
After lunch I went and got Blue, but I was completely drained from our conga horse session and sitting in the sun. So we just walked out through the enchanted forest and did a little walk/trot/canter, but I was so dang pooped. So I just let her go in the large arena and she had herself a good little run. Then I went back and watched a dvd on farrier prep and had an ice tea and we were rejuvinated!
I went up on the hill and played with all the obstacles again and well, Blue found her favorite!!!! It's like a small car tent! Open on both sides. The first time I was driving from zone 5 and she trotted right on through, so when I popped out, she disengaged. Then we went back through. Well, then I wanted to leave and she wanted to go in again! I had to literally drag her away. We played with sideways around obstacles, and weaves, and jumps, and the ramp and she's totally awesome at all times! But once again, on our way back to the pens she took me straight to the tent! And then she stopped underneath it and relaxed! So I walked in with her and she didn't want to walk out, so we hung out for a good 20 minutes! She's pook her head out and watch all the horses play, and then she's back up and reposition herself for a couple of grass pieces, then she'd bug me some, then she'd bite parts of the tent! She just loved it under there. It had a really nice breeze, so I can't blame her. If you guys have seen my Blue pics, she did the same thing to our ratty "car wash" that we set up. That was her hang out while the strips of tarp blew around her. She's such a ham!!! And then finally we strolled on and made our way back.

Man oh man, it's just so fun! I hope I have more energy tomorrow, because I'm driving to Tallahassee to meet Dustin :):):) How did I get so lucky to get both of the things I love ??!?!

Oh, and I may be stuck in Florida longer because I'm not allowed to leave the States, or I won't be allowed back in!!! And there aren't any appointments available as of now for my trip back!!! Oh my, what a place to be stuck in!!!!!!!
