Hi, I am Heather - After some 30 years of having no horse in my life I found my beautiful black varnish roan appaloosa mare in October of 2009 and began my Parelli journey at the same time.  Belle is a 12 year old LBE and we are working on Lvl 2 stuff.  The riding part has been a challenge - learning 'Western' techniques when I rode lazy English style as a teenager.  It was just a get on and do it learning that I had in the first place - I had no pony club or formal riding instruction - so much of the Parelli philosophy and methods felt so very right to me right from the star

I just got my Audition Results

Had some sun today down in the cold depths of a Kiwi Winter.

I took the covers off the horses & was picking up the poop in the paddock. Both horses were intently following me around & if I didnt pay them any attention they would walk between me & the barrow & stand in the way OR in the case of my RBI mare that I am using as my partner for the Levels Program... she would lift her front leg & out it in the barrow then look at me & when i made a noise to express my unimprssedness (if thats a word) she would then tip it over!!

I Had laugh at her.

I did finally do it - but now I have RE Done it!!

Woke up this morning & decided I would re video my Level 1 Audition.

Yup - I did! LOL

Possibly silly to do but I decided after having put more thought into it that I could demonstrate my Level one Savvyness alot better if I showed a few more things in my audition, rather than just the copulsories. AND Besides, the video was on just over 5 minutes long.

Anyway, I have redone it & Emailed it all away to Parelli Heaven & I am eagerly awaiting the response.

Does anyone know how long it takes for you to normally get a reply once your Audition has been submitted?

Lets try something new & out of my comfort zone....
