Do you know what Principle #7 is? Well I've been having quite the experience with this particular principle these past couple of days and will continue to through the rest of the week. I have been lucky to be able to play with and ride two of Kelly Sigler's super horses, George and Buckley. I've been learning so much from them.. therefore principle #7 is Horses teach riders, Riders teach horses.
It is so much fun playing with these horses and riding them. They are both so interesting and unique. It is SO helpful for me to be able to work with them. I've been able to play around with flying changes on them, helping me to understand them better so I can then have an easier time teaching them to my horses. When playing with Buckley at liberty, I realized just how soft you can be.. it is true that your phase one from levels 2/3 turns into your new phase 4. So cool! I just love having this opportunity to learn from these incredible horses!
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.
