I think she likes it!
Lunged her again yesterday with her new bell. She is a beginner and I am clumsy at lunging, so we've had lots of elliptical "circles" and little forward momentum. Yesterday with the bell Robin looked happier (ears forward) and moved much more energetically, even breaking into a trot at times. (We haven't done trot on the lunge line yet.)
Next the bell needs to turn into rhythm beads. Right now it's what my friend Cheryl Rivers would call "a farmed-up arrangement--" baling twine. (And the lunge-line is braided baling twine too; 'nother story.) We need a beautiful string or thong and some pretty and significant beads, suitable for the Princess. And what am I going to do with the two smaller bells? Thinking about hanging them from the stirrups at first. "Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, She shall have music wherever she goes."
