With this stupid tube sticking out of my back I really can´t do much in the stable. My movements are very much restricted. I can´t even through hay over the fence - that´s how bad it is.
Luckily Milva is so well behaved - thanks to the Parelli Program. Otherwise I couldn´t even take her out of the pasture.
Haltering with savvy comes in very handy right now. I don´t even have to tell Milva to lower her head cause she knows what to do. She is giving me a nice stretch towards me, head a little bit down - just perfect for haltering. While doing all this she doesn´t move a bit, waiting for me to open the gate then I send her out, disengage her hindquarters, she turns around and looks at me and then off we go.
I should also mention that I can´t walk very fast right now, it´s more in a snailspeed but Milva walks there right with me. I don´t even have to hold her rope. She just chooses to walk in my speed.
Right now I prefer not to lead her in case she would spook at something. It´s very unlikely that it would happen but with my luck lately I better stay on the save side.
When we are in the big field - where I usually let her graze, I sit down in my chair and she grazes around me. When she gets too far away I call her and usually she comes back to me.
I´m so lucky to have a horse like Milva!!!!
I still haven´t gotten an appointment for my kidneystoneremovemnt yet. It´s pretty annoying to walk around with a Nefrostomi I have to say!
