Celebrations

Dear Friends,

Production is moving forward on the UK Celebration LIVE DVD, and I must say, I am excited…and scared! The excitement is for everyone to be able to see the show, even if they weren’t there. I think it was the best of the 2009 Celebrations, and the National Event Center’s “LG Arena” is a phenomenal venue. It is more like a stage than an arena, so it makes such a great setting and seems to really focus attention and amplify emotion. The event was so dramatic and exciting…I can’t wait for that feeling to be available worldwide on DVD.

Pat and I believe that the best way to show how quickly and effectively the Parelli approach works is to use demo horses in our shows.  We teach the horse and our students the value of using love, language and leadership; when in horse-ville, we do as horses do rather than as humans do!

The Lakeland Celebration was fantastic.  Right from the get-go, our audience was one of our most interactive, vocal and enthusiastic in the whole tour.  Reina, the HSUS rescue horse was fascinating, she’s a Left-Brain Extrovert whose dignity had been shattered, so she was really defensive and appeared aggressive when Pat went to mount her.  Up until then she’d been doing great, but when it came time to ride, she could not give permission and had zero trust.
