Woo Hoo, Level I DVD's arrived yesterday!

My level I DVD's arrived yesterday.  I have watched the first three chapters on DVD I and can't wait to see more.  (Yeah, I had to get some sleep...)  I am so hopeful and confident that this program will help the bond between me and one of my horses.  I love him dearly but he doesn't love me, yet. Wish me luck!

A Little about Me

I have been practicing Parelli for about 5 years now.  My first partner which I still have is a LBE and boy do I have to try and not bore him or he makes up games himself.  He's very claustraphobic, so riding has been out of the question for awhile.  I purchased him as a 2 yo, which looking back I never should have done as I was inexperienced.  But I love him to death, he's way smarter than me!  I'm hoping to progress much further with him with the patterns.  I started him out with the OLD level 1 with the VHS.  My 2nd horse is a 23 yo QH.

Let me introduce myself........

Hi, I'm Kate.  I live with my wonderful husband and three children is South East Iowa.  Along with my hubby and kids, our farm is also home to dearly loved four legged family members.  Belle is our resident house cat while her littermate brother is our outside mouser, frequently bringing us his latest prize to the doorstep.  Tanner, our Golden Retreiver, is our greeter, meeting all of our visitors first.  Then there's Pete...

Looking for your input on what you would like to see our group doing in terms of Pony Parties, gatherings, support, events etc. This is your group and I really want your input and thoughts.

I would like to schedule a time to go to Elk Rock to play in the arena and grounds, ride if you want have a grill out etc. I'm thinking if at all possible this might be during the week since we are in camping season now.
