Some of my earliest memories are centred on horses. From a very early age I was hooked but it was not until nearly 10 that I badgered my parents to let me have my first pony. Bubbles was a tiny black and white Shetland pony who I rode bareback everywhere and the faster the better. I have never forgotten that connection.
After college and kids I found the urge to get back into horses again. This time around I thought I would do the sensible thing and take some lessons yet I was never happy that I was learning anything. I really liked dressage but failed to understand how I was causing anything to happen. It was also around this time that I learned I did not bounce anymore like I used to and my confidence took a substantial knock after a nasty fall.
Burying all my intuition and worries I went ahead and took in an ex-racer who started me on my road to a more natural approach...I just did not know it then. Although I got on well with Piper, it was not long until I got scared of him and no longer wanted to ride him.
After a break to extend our family I decided I needed to get another horse. This is when I met Ranger. My heart went out to Ranger when I saw him. He looked very quiet and I thought he would be the perfect horse for me. I soon learned otherwise.
It was not very long when some of the same problems reared their head with Ranger. I was starting to find more and more excuses to have someone else ride him and when I did I felt out of control. I also got very frustrated and mad alot.
Ranger sprained his check ligament out hunting but finished the 3 hour hunt by cantering into the village head in the air on pure adrenaline. While on box rest I saw the footage of the UK Celebration. I was blown away. The Right Brain Extrovert was exactly like Ranger. I was on the phone to the Parelli office the next working day. I knew there and then this was the way forward and the only way I would stay in horses
Before Ranger retired in October 2010 we had excelled in all four Savvies to where we were studying Level 5. I finally felt like I was learning the trade and not just the tricks of the trade.
In June 2011 I inheritated Angel from a student of mine. Angel was an extremely difficult horse when I first met her but through the programme she has made huge changes. She is now my dream partner and I am now out competing her. She graduated Online Freestyle and Liberty Level 4 in 1 Year. We have now shifted our focus to helping her develop her Finesse riding (riding with Contact)
My Journey with Ranger and Angel has inspired me to become a Parelli Professional. I feel I have much to share from my experiences in the programme. I look forward to inspiring, empowering and educating through Natural Horsemanship.
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Get your good better and your better best!
