Events

At the Gold Summit on Monday, Pat shared some of the plans and goals for the future of the Parelli organization. In this video, he explains the Parelli Rendez-vous event happening this fall in Florida.

We also watched a highlights reel of footage taken and edited by the mastery students during the Fresno event, which they hope to upload to the ParelliTube channel in the next few days. They even caught what Parelli Professional Ann Kiser’s horse Bandit did when she asked him to lie down — Pat said he has never seen a horse crouch like that, ever.

I am helping Jan and Dan pack for a huge move so will not be able to horse or blog for a few days yet. This is probably a good thing, so that I didn’t just rush home and try to do everything with Rock and Salsa all to oncet!

Ambassador training – oh yes, yes, yes please

I just got the email to gold savvy club members that one of our 2010 benefits will be ambassador training, free. SQWEEEE! I’ve wanted to become an official Parelli ambassador since before they announced any formal plan or program for it — and I was this close <> to applying for their social media integration position, until I realized that I couldn’t afford to take it, if I got the offer. Ha.

This week I’ve been playing with Rocky in the rain, asking him to trust me enough to wade through the creek instead of leap the ditch, while I hold my Flip cam up at him. This has resulted in some interesting adventures although not necessarily usable footage. (I love saying footage for digital video — like saying “above the fold” to describe website layout.) I need one more session to show our success, so that I can cobble together a minute of before, during, after.

Salsa is doing a lot better at haltering himself now that we’re being more “evade the bump” and less “evade the halter.” I’ll explain that in a future post too.

I haven’t booked lodging yet even though they’ve announced the Savvy Summit conference dates, but it looks like gold members can attend free, depending on what restrictions apply. This is gonna be a good horse year. No matter what.
