WHAT HAS BEEN

HAPPENING

Hi All.

As some of you may have

heard I now have a new

job. I went looking for a

winter part time job and

ended up being offered a

full time 2yr fixed term

contract position that was

simply too good to turn

down - working for the

Waimakariri District

Council facilitating their

change to a new ITplatform. I love teaching

Parelli and am still

heading over to Colorado

to undertake the

Internship in August, but

with all the expense of

recent years travelling to

become a licensed Parelli

Professional it was time to

put some money back in

the bank. I still intend

teaching, but my focus forthe coming summer will

be on focus groups and

workshops. I will keep you

all informed of my plans.

COLT START COURSE

What an experience this

course was. Funny how

each time you are ready

the teacher seems to

appear. I travelled over

to Sydney at the

beginning of May and

spent 3 weeks learning

Pats process for starting

young horses under

saddle. What a fantastic

process. The process

stepped seamlessly from

one thing to the next with

the colts (unstarted fillies,

mares and geldings) not

knowing they were even

learning. The picture

below is the horse Cass

that I ended up starting.

It was a pleasure to be

part of and lifted my

horsemanship to a whole

new level. Rob McAuliffe

and Berin McFarlane were

fabulous teachers and the

group of international

students (6 Aussies, 5 from

UK, 1 from France, 1 from

Ireland and me from NZ)

that I was lucky enough tospent the 3 weeks with,

were wonderful! I would

highly recommend this

course to anyone wanting

to seriously improve their

horsemanship. I think it

improved my

horsemanship more than

any other course to date.

INTERNSHIP Aug/Sept

2013

On the 10th of August I

leave for the Colorado

campus in the USA again

to complete an Internship.

This means I will be therefor 6 weeks learning from

the best, which is again

incredibly exciting. During

this time I will be assisting

instructing a fast track

course which is almost

unbelievable as it feels like

I only just completed

mine.

I will be doing regular

facebook & Parelli

Connect updates for

anyone interested in

keeping up with what I am

doing over there.

I have again been lucky

enough to secure thefabulous lease horse

Smokey that I had last

year, so I am really looking

forward to that. This

internship is focused on

teaching, with us teaching

the Fast Track course that

will be there during our

internship. This is incredibly

exciting from the angle of

what I will learn as far as

savvy goes but alsolearning the format,

content and delivery of

such a high level course.

Exciting times.

RUSSELL HIGGINS CLINICS

Russell was here in March

and ran two extremely

successful clinics. We

started with a level 2 clinic

followed by a level 3 clinic

the following weekend.

The clinics were full to

brimming, which was

fantastic.

A highlight for me withthese clinics was being

able to assist & learn from

Russell as well as having

Instructors Sarah Onley

here assisting as well.

The feedback from the

participants was excellent

and Russell is organised for

a repeat round early 2014!

When we have dates

confirmed I will let you all

know. These clinics filled

incredibly fast last time, so

get in early so as not to be

disappointed.

WORKSHOPS

In the past couple of

months between my trips

over to Australia we have

run a Stability and

confidence in the saddle

which was fully booked

and very successful along

with a Ropes and Tools

workshop that

included everything from

a very enlightening

obstacle course to rope

tossing and coiling that

tested everyones skills.

These workshops will

definitely be on the

program next summer!

POT LUCK CURRY

& FUN SOCIAL EVENING

Saturday 20 July 7pm @

our place

Before heading over to

the USA again we thought

it might be fun to have a

mid winters catchup with

anyone who wants to

come. So we havedecided to have a pot

luck Curry/dessert night

which will be followed by

a couple of fun activities

for all to enjoy. All you

need to do is bring you

own favourite curry

OR

a dessert (either can be

homemade or brought).

Tony and I will supply the

bread (Yum - Tonys

amazing homemade

bread for those who have

already tried it) and the

rice so you only need to

bring a curry or dessert.

This free social evening is

open to anyone who

wants to come, and their

partners (for those that

want to join the

enthusiastic Parelli-ites!).

Please RSVP to us with

numbers and if you are

bringing a curry or dessert,

so we know how much

rice to make, by the 16th

July 2013. Please note that

we may have to limit

numbers to make sure we

can fit everyone in, so if

you intend to come,

please let me know asap!

I CAN TEACH LEVEL 4!Thank you to everyone for

your patience for those

wanting me to teach you

level 4. My licensing

requires me to have held

Level 4 for a year before I

can teach it, well finally

that time has come. I

passed my Level 4 Online

5 March 2012 and

Freestyle on the 26 June

2012. So I can now teachLevel 4, Online & Freestyle

which is very exciting.

Please excuse the over

enthusiastic amount of

clipart, but it is winter and

sometimes you need a

little bit of fun to brighten

up the dark nights!

Well I hope you can all

come to the Curry night

(even if you dont likecurry as hopefully there

will be a few nice desserts

as well) so I can catch up

with you before I head

away to the US again.

Take care, keep warm

and look forward to

Spring!

All the best

Sandy
