bay_beastie, I couldn't agree more! Silke is awesome and proves that anyone can to anything if they just want it bad enough!
I love just being around my horse too - don't have to ride. And there's absolutely nothing more comforting than crying into their neck when something bad happens...
Golf Girl - that was my point exactly. I don't ride mine a lot, but I play with him on the ground some and just enjoy grooming, hand grazing, hugging, talking to him. Spending "undemanding time" with him.
I learned that from John Lyons a long time ago. He told a story of a woman he was...
TnC - Again, no one could say it better. I have never been a "blind" Parelli follower, but I have been a huge (for want of a better word) fan! I've gone to his tour stops for the past 6 years when they were close enough to me, I've seen with my own horse(s) how well the program works, and I...
She's been taking care of him and loving him for four years. She takes lessons on the ground with him when she has time and can afford it - remember, she works two jobs to keep this horse. There is a NH trainer in the area who she wants to have ride him - when she has $40/hour, minimum 2...
T~n~C - You're absolutely right! There are people I know who went to their first clinic, not being members, just to see how it went with their horses. As a matter of fact, what if Linda had been told she couldn't ride in that first clinic unless she joined the Savvy Club? I know there was no...
Wow. I'm really sorry to hear that. I happen to be a member of the Savvy Club, but there is a girl where I board who would love to join, but right now can't even afford the $20/month. I love the information available to SC members. Parelli has helped me so much with my horse, but now it...
TIC - I'm here in the states and I signed your petition. However, I didn't watch the video. I can't get stuff like that out of my head - ever - if I see it. I will take your word that it's horrible and will do anything I can. I also follow Madeleine Pickens in her fight for the mustangs. I...
I'm confused about this. When did this new requirement occur? I've audited a lot of clinics (although not in this past year), but every one I've seen advertised gives 2 prices for auditing - regular price and savvy club price (which is usually about $5 over the 2/3 days). I'm just wondering...
