Hello Riders,
Here's the latest news:
Our beloved Don Halladay has generously created a new theme and price for our clinic this year.
Student Appreciation Clinic, July 18 - 20
Anyone who has taken a clinic with Don in the past is eligible for the discounted rate of $120 per day. (plus facility and stall costs)
Details are lower in this newsletter.
In the Workshop last Sunday, Natalia saddled and rode Lexi for the first time since her accident in November. It was an emotional moment for Natalia and also for everyone at the workshop. We know it has been a difficult struggle and we commend you Natalia for your perseverance and determination!
2 participant spots left to participate in the Confidence Weekend Workshop June 13-14 at Aram and Donna's Natural Playground near Jarvie, Alberta. Details are lower in this newsletter.
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.

News from Parelli
I just finished participating in the 10 day Linda Parelli Bridges to Success virtual Clinic. I have to say that this event was educational, inspiring and well executed. I recommend to anyone that the next time an event like this is offered you really should participate. The study times were flexible and all the live sessions with Linda were also recorded so participants could watch them later. The education portal is also available for 7 days past the closing of the course. I was pretty busy and could only take part in just over 1/2 of the course and still found it to be a good investment towards my Savvy.
Videos of the seven games goals have recently been added to the Savvy Club. Look under "new this week" to find the Seven Games Goals videos and other inspiring and educational content. Or, after you have logged into your Savvy Club account, enter this link: https://members.parelli.com/courses/7-games-goals/
The Savvy club is the best horsemanship resource in my opinion and they are making great strides in getting it even better.
Thanks To the Parelli team for your hard work!
$19.95 USD a month for a bronze membership.
But most importantly!!!!!
If you want access to the educational videos in the Savvy Club, please Click Here for Amy Dorland or Click Here for Don or Halladay or mention either of our names if you phone in to join, 1-800-642-3335

What happens when someone worries?
Basically, they think of 100 reasons why something might go wrong. And all of those thoughts then struggle to become things, sometimes overriding their more constructive thoughts.
That's the power of worry.
Now, let's say you want something fantastic to manifest in your life.
Have you closed your eyes yet and imagined 100 reasons why it might come to you easily, fast, and harmoniously?
I think you should.
Today works!
You know that feeling?
That sense of eagerness for the moment. Optimism for the future. And confidence that you’re exactly "when" and where you should be. That feeling that makes dark days lighter and light days brighter. That precedes breakthroughs, conquests, and euphoria.
Yes, that feeling!
Well, it doesn't just come.
You have to give it to yourself.
