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.

2 Star Course comes to an end!!

What an amazing two weeks I've had so far here at the ranch. The 2-Star Course was amazing!! I learned SO much in the course and have brought my horsemanship to another new level, and teachermanship. We had our graduation yesterday, and yes I passed!! So very exciting!!

The instructors who ran the course and helped with testing are all so amazing and inspiring! Carol Coppinger is such a great example and leader of the Parelli program! Tina Giordano, Lee Palmer, and Ann Kiser are all so amazing too! What a great team we had to learn from!!

Currently the Instructor Horsemanship Course is going on, taught by Linda Parelli. It runs from today through Tuesday. In this time I hope to help out at the ranch, since I'm not auditing this course. Then we have the Instructor Conference Wednesday and Thursday, where all the instructors will get together to discuss teaching, parelli, and much much more! And then there is the SUMMIT! How exciting! The summit is going to be such an awesome event!! Lots going on here at the ranch! Very exciting to be here with all of the positive energy!

Keep it Natural!!
Sarah
