Goodbye Stoneleigh. After getting frustrated for weeks that I hadn't been accepted onto the course, I have now decided to take it as a sign that 2009 is not the year for me to go. Recently my health has declined and for the next few years I have to be realistic and expect ups and downs. I would be absolutely devestated if I had spent weeks preparing for the course only to turn up and only be able participate for a few hours a day because I'd overdone it. It's really is a shame but I feel it's for the best; I will get more out of a Parelli course once I can comfortably afford the fees, I'm in level 3 and when I'm feeling stronger.
I've put out a few feelers to friends and instructors so I can make sure that I spend the course money to benefit my horsemanship as much as possible over the next 12 months. I'm determined that I will still have a fantastic year!
I had a good session with Lily today playing the friendly game and there was a lot of licking and chewing which is always nice to see. Well, hear because Lily is a sly-licker being an introvert and all. :)
For a little while I won't be around much because I am getting another puppy tomorrow! Making sure the chewing, piddling and pooping in the house is kept to a minimum will be my priority. His name is Dillon, he's a red, sable and white tri-colour Papillon and he's a sweetheart. I'll post pictures soon. I'll try and keep updating though when I get given a break I'll either be out with the ponies, doing my uni work or sleeping so internet activity will be limited.
Hope everyone's well |

Pre-Parelli I did the best with what I knew but now I know better; I want to do better!

I am owned by this gorgeous piebald cob mare, Lily. She's an interesting character, fun to play with and is a great teacher.
There's more about her on her own page.

It's not about disposable horses; it's about relationships for life.
It's not about quick fixes and artificial aids, it's about savvy; true understanding and expertise.
It's not about winning and others losing; It's about win-win: you and the horse need to feel good.
It's not about me me me; It's about changing the world for horses, becoming a person of knowledge and influence, and sharing what you know.
It's not about fear and doubt; It's about unconditional love and trust.
Love for the empowerment of others and trust that you'll never ask the horse to do something that would hurt or diminish his dignity.
Reveal your horse. Discover your potential. Live your dream.
-Parelli
