WHAT HAS BEEN

HAPPENING

Hi All. Well it certainly has

been busy since my returnfrom Pagosa Springs! As

Im sure many of you will

have noticed my

schedule has been veryfull which great thank

you for your support.

It seems ages ago since

we held the 2* party (1stSeptember), it was a

brilliant night, and was

such good fun spendingtime with and getting to

know so many like-minded

people. We are going to

do it again soon

GROUP LESSONS

Group lessons have really

started to take off which I

am very pleased to see these are the best value

for students, and as there

is more than one student,they allow some lick and

chew time which

strengthens the learning. I

am running group lessons

both at my property and

at any location that suitsstudents it just needs 2

people to make it

happen!

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

In early October I wasback on the road

teaching students fromBlenheim, Nelson and

Takaka. Tony (my

husband) came with me

and he trimmed horses

while I taught. Tony is a

qualified barefoot

trimmer. We had a

fabulous four days

including running 2 group

lessons/workshops andindividual lessons. The

workshops were really

popular and received

excellent feedback which

was brilliant.

HIGHLIGHTS

A recent highlight for me

was having the Selwyn-

Rakaia riding club inviteme to teach a group

lesson at one of their club

days @ the RDA arena

we had a great time!Some wonderful changes

took place in horses and

humans. It is always reallygood to introduce Parelli

to more people.

OPERATION SHETLANDSHIFT

I was asked to be involved

in the shifting of 35

Shetland Ponies in one

day. Duncree ShetlandPony stud had been sold

and the enormity of the

task of shifting 35

Shetlands had struck itsowner Catherine. After an

initial planning session we

undertook 2 practicesessions.

Given that there were in

excess of 14 ponies that

had NEVER been on ahorse float before, this was

going to be some task.

We had a great time

teaching these absolutely

darling little ponies, many

of whom were very leftbrain. Shifting day

dawned clear. The

situation was that ALL 35

ponies had to be shifted inone day to be able to

hand over a clear

property to its new

owners. Catherineenlisted a dozen good

friends, many of whom are

Parelli students and myselfto lead the day. We had

about 8 floats that did the

one hour round trip, whilst

myself and my trusty

sidekicks were flat outloading ponies. It took

exactly 3 hours to load,

transport and deliver

safely 35 shetland ponies!What a huge

achievement. We had a

number of ponies whodidnt think it was a very

good idea to leave their

lovely home, but with

some gentle savvy

encouragement everyone

loaded and travelledperfectly. It could not

have gone better. To say

we were all flying after

that would be anunderstatement. A great

day and one I willremember for a long time.

Well done Catherine andall your savvy friends!

GOAL SETTING

We have also held some

goal-setting sessions

recently, with both groups

and individuals for those

who attended how are

your goals going?

Remember to share your

goals with others whichwill help motivate you toachieve them. If anyone

is interested in a goal

setting session either

groups or individuals,please feel free to

contact me.

FACILITIES!

We have continued our

work on developing our

property into a greatnatural horse facility, with

some more fencing

having just been

completed. The all

weather sand Arena has

now been post and railed.

We have 2 rings (50 foot &100 foot), multiple yards

and numerous obstacles

and toys to play with

including our newly

acquired pedestal, bridge

and seesaw (imported

from Takaka!). We have

replaced much of the old

fencing on the propertyincluding a boundary

fence and in the process

created a new central

paddock that all thepaddocks feed into that

makes the best use of the

existing trees for natural

shelter for the horses. This

has been quite a task but

we finally seem to be

getting there! YAH!

COMING UP

Reading your horse and

Problem solving are 2

very popular group

lessons/workshops that I

have coming up at my

property plus I will also

be holding a Preparing

for audition workshopsoon. See my schedule

below for further details.

EXCITING, EXCITING!!!

Probably the most exciting

event on the horizon is the

fact that I have been able

to secure 4* InstructorRussell Higgins (based in

the North Island) and 3*

Instructor James Roberts

(from the UK!) to spend

the month of February in

Canterbury! They will be

based at my property forthe month of February.

They are being assisted bySarah Olney a 1*

Instructor who is also

coming out from the UK.

They are starting (breakingin) 15 colts (fully booked)

but you can waitlist your

horse in case one pulls

out. This is very exciting

and it is brilliant for Parelli

to have these visiting

Instructors here.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

Russell will also be running

a Level 2 two day clinic

here on 16/17 February

2013, and a Level Oneintroductory clinic here on

9/10 March while he is

and successful. Bookingsare being taken for both

clinics with spaces filling

fast. See schedule at theend of the newsletter for
