Welcome
Welcome to my blog and welcome to my journey! Here you can view every process and milestone I have and will experience since my beginnings in Parelli, up to my graduation of Level 4, into my Fast Track experiences, through the Mastery Program at the Florida Campus as an Extern, Instructor Experiences, and more.
There are two kinds of horse people in this world, ones who are living their dream and the ones who aren't! I used to be frustrated, humiliated, and aggravated with horses and almost gave up on my dream of becoming a great horsewoman, One day I was blessed enough to attend a Parelli Tour Stop in 2006, from that day forward, without exaggeration, my life was never the same. I was fourteen years old when I attended that tour stop, now years later after following the Parelli Program with my heart I am living my dreams. I am doing things I thought would be impossible with a horse. I have such a bright future ahead of me because of the lessons I have been taught through the number one horsemanship program in the world.
I am now an official Level 3 graduate, and Official graduate of half of Level 4 of the Parelli program and am playing with the concepts of Level 5 and 6 with Sundance, Bodie, and Aamira. Three horses with a story to tell and a lifetime of lessons to teach. My life long goal is to become a 5 star Master Instructor of the program, which will be accumilated by doing everything I can to make the world a better place, one horse and human at a time! Take a look at My Life, My Dreams page for the goals I have achieved and plan to achieve in order to get where I want to go. As of January 15, 2011 I entered into the 3 month Externship program at the Parelli Florida International Savvy Center, I documented every experience possible. Please join me on this adventure as I have more adventures as a growing Parelli instructor at home and at the Parelli Campus in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy watching me grow as a partner, teacher and horsewoman.
"Write down the revelation (dream) and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay." Habakkuk 2:2-3

Put a pad and saddle on her, cinched it up... had no problems and proved to me that she has forgotten nothing since I have played with her last. She is extremely smart, very savvy, and will shoot through Level 4 extremely fast. Now I am getting her ready for liberty, it's time and it's going to be great. :)

He is coming along great, and trying very hard! It will just take a lot of consistency and repetition, which I can do! Looks like we will be focusing on Liberty tomorrow.
