We started our final testing for our externship today! Online was the first savvy we tested on. Max did so AWESOME! Way better than I expected. It really showed our progress and how everything is now coming together that we've been working on. Testing is definitely a test of our emotional fitness and just seeing how you handle the testing shows your savvy.
Max has completely changed since he's been here. I'll have to post some before and after shots. He looks like a different horse! Black, sleek, and muscular! I can't wait to start focusing more on dressage with him and hopefully start showing this summer.
More to come tomorrow about testing and finishing up the externship.
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.
Good luck! Although with all your savvy you don't need luck. Can't wait to see the new pictures of Max.
