Congratulations to Natalia for achieving her Green String!! All auditions were done with Lexi, her last audition, Liberty was submitted after Lexi's accident. We are all very proud of your achievement!
I will do video lessons with anyone who wants to send me something, Cost is $25 for the first 10 minutes and $2 per minute after that. I will review your video and send back my thoughts to help you with any of your Parelli horsemanship struggles.
I am teaching small group workshops on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings at Sartison's, contact me if you are interested in hauling in as there is a limit on the number of trailers. I can also travel to your barn if it is permitted, mileage may apply.

You can add my google calendar to your own by clicking on the 3 lines in the top left corner of your own google calendar and typing in my email in the "add a calendar" section. This works better on a computer than on a phone or tablet.

Student Notices
Email your submissions for the newsletter before the 15th of each month to Amy I love to hear your news and thoughts, pictures, what Parelli items you have for sale and Parelli trained horses to sell.
From Andrea: 2015 purebred registered Arabian gelding. Is w/t/c under saddle. He has moved cattle and done small jumps last summer but he has done less this summer. Has been trained entirely with Parelli methods (me and two months with a Parelli professional) I am looking for a home that will continue with that. He is fantastic at liberty and loves doing new things which makes sense since he is a left brain extrovert; don’t be surprised if he steals your hat or plays with a zipper. His movement and confirmation is incredible, he outdoes even my dressage horses with his balance and effortless athleticism. His registration papers are basically a list of who’s who of top North American halter champions.
Please contact for pricing +1 587-355-6239 or andreaezadams@gmail.com

Using your physical senses to assess your options is kind of like driving while looking in the rearview mirror. Not so great, unless you want to go backward.
Mostly, the physical senses show what has been, not what will be. For true feel, look within.
Best I can figure, the reason some get down-and-out, lose motivation, and watch too much TV is that they've somehow forgotten just how fast things can change, and they've yet to discover just how good they can get.
Even you are going to be surprised.
Do you have any idea how thoroughly, utterly, and completely I want the very things you now want?
Well, let's just say that after visualizing, and expecting, and practicing with faith, then came you, where you're at right now.
We're in this together.
