Bit of Honey Circus May 2019

We had such a fun time at the Bit of Honey Circus this weekend!  In attendance were new friends, old friends with new horses, youngsters and seasoned circus-goers.  We had quarter horses, thoroughbreds, a fjord, paints, palominos, and some flashy colors among them all! 

The main highlights for each session of the circus were to:
1 - Be safe (we all wore helmets and were careful never to wrap ropes around limbs)
2 - Have fun (how could you not with a tunnel made of pool noodles and a yellow brick road?)
3 - Horses and humans are to leave the circus more relaxed and braver than when they arrived.

I explained to each group that I don't care if your horse never walks over a tarp in his life.  This is a zero pressure environment.  What I want during the circus is for the horse to learn how to handle new things and to enjoy seeing new stuff.  I also want him to learn that you are trustworthy and he can follow you anywhere. If he walks over a tarp in the process, cool.  If not, as long as he leaves braver than when he arrived we have had a successful day!

We had a wonderful time despite some cold wind, and if you'd like to join us at the next one later this summer let me know and I can add you to the guest list!
