WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING Hi All. Well Christmas has been and gone and we are well into 2013 already. This year has started extremely well with lessons coming out my ears. It is great to see so many students focused on progressing and I am seeing so much improvement. I personally have been spending quite a bit of time with my young horse Cody, who is coming along really well. forward to that. This internship is focused on teaching, with us teaching the Fast Track course that will be there during our internship. This is incredibly exciting from the angle of what I will learn as far as savvy goes but also learning the format, content and delivery of such a high level course. Exciting times. WORKSHOPS In the past month we have held workshops Horsenality & Reading your horse as well as Stability and confidence in the saddle. At both workshops we broke our record for numbers attending and the feedback was excellent, so we will be repeating these in the near future. freestyle.

PARELLI NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP THE 3 LAWS THAT GUIDE THE PARELLI PROGRAM

LEARNING I thought last year was a big year for me as far as learning goes, but it appears 2013 is going to be even bigger. I have just had it confirmed that I have been accepted onto the Colt Start course (breaking in horses) in Australia for 3 weeks in May. My plan at this stage is not to start horses under saddle, but this course will give me more savvy that I can then share with my students. Then early in August I am off to attend the Internship at the Colorado campus in the USA. This is a requirement for me to gain my 3 star Instructor qualification. I have been lucky enough to secure the fabulous lease horse I had last year (Smokey) again, so I am looking

This event had been planned for Sunday 24th March 2013. Unfortunately because of the changes to Colt starting that Russell Higgins and James Roberts were to undertake, we have had to postpone the Natural Horsemanship Games until further notice. Our intention is still to run the first ever, but because we have had to be so flexible this year, we are not currently in a position to run these. We will keep you updated with further developments on this. CHARGES My fee structure remains unchanged as follows: $50 per hour = 1 hour private one to one lesson at my facility (411 Loburn Whiterock Road, Loburn, North Canterbury) $60 per hour = 1 hour private one to one lesson at your place $40 per hour per person = when two or more people

(up to 6) are having a lesson together (any location) Travel will only be charged when I have to travel further than 45 minutes from my home

PARELLI PLAY DAYS Our next Parelli Play day is Sunday 23rd February. This fully booked. Keep an eye out for further dates in our next newsletter. HORSES NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR LESSONS Unfortunately due to a number of reasons we are currently unable to offer our horses for lessons. This may change again in the future. BAD WEATHER and CANCELATIONS As we head towards the autumn/winter we are likely to have more days where the weather is not so good. The weather varies so much around Canterbury that it is impossible for me to know the weather conditions at the many different lesson locations. I will always assume that the lesson is going ahead, unless I hear from you otherwise. If you do not want the lesson to go ahead due to the weather YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME AT LEAST 1 HOUR PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED LESSON TIME AND ADVISE ME YOU WISH TO CANCEL THE LESSON and then no fees will apply. Otherwise normal lesson fees will apply.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

RUSSELL HIGGINS CLINICS Russell is running 2 clinics here at our property in March 2013. Firstly a level 2 clinic 9/10 March in which we still have rider spaces available and a level 3 clinic 16/17 March which is fully booked for riders, but we are taking wait list names. Auditor (spectator) positions are available for both courses. $350 for rider/participant (which includes a free auditor ticket), Auditors = $65 per day. Russell is a superb 4* star Senior Parelli instructor. He is excellent at teaching with simply brilliant horsemanship skills. I cannot recommend Russell highly enough and think anyone who attends these clinics will find they significantly progress forward.
