The beginning...

In early November 2008, I pulled Flamenco out of the paddock and put her into the round yard to commence her education. Apart from occasional handling during the previous 4 years, Flamenco had never been worked with to any major extent.

Flamenco lived in the round yard by herself for a few days, and during this time she got used to me walking in and out to feed her, and gradually stopped being flighty around me. I didn't do much other than pat her occasionally (if she let me).

After 4 days of this, I decided it was time to start the real work!
