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.

Parelli Games and Social Media Meeting

Parelli Games were this morning. It was great to see everyone in their spotlights. Everyone did such a great job!!

This afternoon we had a meeting with Mark Weiler and Sue Shoemark about social media. It was great to hear what they had to say about the future of parelli and how we can help! Very exciting things are coming up! Parelli is just growing and growing.

I had an interesting ride on Max this evening. He was so much better to the right, I rode him around a round pen again today. He was able to walk and trot while being himself to the right. How cool! To the left his baggage showed up. He kept cantering so I would just bring him back to trot and keep trotting around the outside of the round pen. Finally he decided to slow down and we stopped there! Hopefully he'll soon understand that he can be himself undersaddle and be the LBI that he is.

Tomorrow we have the day off, yippee! Time to relax and play with the ponies, take the day easy and prepare for the week ahead.
