We had horsemanship again this morning. Berin gave us an excellent demo on liberty with his horse Jasmine. It was awesome! Then I played with Max online and learned quite a bit from him. He was very introverted and disinterested.. so I kept him busy but very slow.. it seemed to work very well.
Before lunch we had driving class. It was very good!! Harnessed up the team drafts and reviewed what we had learned yesterday. Nate went over tons of information that we will be getting tested on Thursday. He feels that we are learning everything very quickly and are going to be ready to take the test, and then start helping to get the drafts ready for working.
I had facility rotation this afternoon. Jim went over Water, Welding, and Workshop. We talked about pipes and plumbing, what to do if a pipe broke. We also went over welding and what is/is not a good weld. Then we went over to the shop at the education station (where our horses and us stay). Jim talked about pipes, saws, and chain saws. He took a chain saw a part and showed us the parts and how to put a chain on. Then we discussed the tractor and some basics to running it. Lastly we drove the skid steer. My first time driving anything like a tractor. It was fun!
Welcome to my blog where I can share my journey with you! I am a Licensed Parelli Professional Two Star Junior Instructor. Here you can read about my experiences with Parelli Natural Horsemanship, my personal horsemanship journey, and my journey with being a Parelli Instructor. I hope to inspire and empower you with my quest for never ending self improvement. I have been studying Parelli for 11 years and am an official Level 3 graduate. I am studying Level 4 with my two horses, Max and Savannah. I grew up riding horses the traditional way and was in the United States Pony Club for 12 years, where I competed in Eventing and Dressage. My first introduction to Parelli was with my pony, who at the time was not a problem horse. I've had my andalusian mare, Savannah for 7 years now and after 2 years of struggling with her while not using Parelli methods, I knew I had to change something. I have been doing Parelli with her for the past 5 years and graduated Level 3 with her fall 2010. In the Spring of 2010 I received Max from Kelly Sigler. I owe it to my two amazing horses, as I would not be where I am now without them, they are my greatest teachers. The journey so far with Parelli has been fun, fulfilling, challenging, and life changing.
