WHAT HAS BEEN

HAPPENING

Hi All. Well we have just

held our Xmas BBQ as athank you to my

students, and what a

great event that was.

Over 50 people attended,and it was an incredibly

positive and fun

environment I just love it

when we all get togetherlike this, it is so much fun.

I gave a short spotlight(demo) where I showed

what I am working on

using 2 horses together

you can check this out at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shgEUK0xFpo

I also recognised the

outstanding efforts of 4 of

my students over the past

year, and presented themeach with a Parelli lapel

badge. Megan Quinn was

awarded my most

dedicated student -starting Parelli lessons

about 12 months ago atpre level 1, and is now

working at a good level 3

a great effort.

Lucette Hogg recognised

for achievement Lucette

has been in the program

some time, but set a cleargoal with me 6 months

ago and has been

working towards this. The

progress that she has

made is amazing welldone.

Esther Yates is my most

open to learning

student. She has been

involved in horses all of her

life including instructing at

Pony club, still activelycompetes and shows

horses, and is taking

lessons and is very open to

learning the Parelli way.She is an inspiration to me.

Without giving her age

away, she is older than my

mother and I truly hopethat I can be as open to

learning when I am her

age.Lesley Palmer is my most

inspirational student.

Lesley is incredibly

focussed and is very

particular. Everything thatshe does, she does to a

very high standard. She

has high expectations of

both her horses andherself and she inspires me

to want to do better.

In the past months we

have held 2 workshops

and a playday all of

which were well attended

and went very well.

Reading your Horse

workshop

THANK YOU

As the year draws towards

an end I always make sure

I take some time to reflect

on my year, and then start

to plan and set goals fornext year. If there is one

overriding thing that

stands out for me over the

past year it has been the

joy that I have got out of

working with each of you.

Thank you. You are alldifferent people with

different hopes and

dreams (and horses!) and

at different stages of yourjourney. I love working

with each and every one

of you, and continue to

be inspired by what youare achieving. I am glad

that you have allowed me

to be part of your journeyand look forward to what

the next year brings.

TRAGEDY

Last newsletter we wereexcited about 4*

Instructor Russell Higgins

(based in the North Island)

and 3* Instructor JamesRoberts (from the UK!)

being based at our

property in February,starting colts and running

a workshop. Tragically

James died recently as a

result of a car accident,

our condolences go to his

family.At about the same time

Russell suffered a serious

knee injury that will see

him out of action forseveral months. It is early

days yet but at this pointthe colt start course is on

hold. We are working withRussell on alternative

options. Watch this space.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!

Russell has confirmed that

he will be running 2 clinics

here at our property in

March 2013. I will be

assisting him and it is likely

that there will be a UKInstructor assisting as well,

as a working student to

Russell.

FACILITIES!

The ongoing work

continues! Many of you

will have noticed that we

have a new gate up thedriveway, replacing the

electric tapes. This

ensures that you have a

very safe and secureplace to unload your

horses very important

when bringing your horse

into a new environment.

The exciting addition is the

big chair, pictured below

being used at a recent

workshop. The idea forthis came about because

we had a large slab of

wood that we had been

using as a bridge butdecided that it was time

to use it as firewood. A

friend and Parelli student

Pauline Burgess -

suggestedwe make it into

a seat and the result is

outstanding!
