Today was a very intense day with lots of fun.
We started-off with a session with Pat. He talked to us about some more informations about the Parelli Education Institute, his vision about the future and his expectations. We were invited to ask questions. It was a great session! A lot of his sayings came into my mind. Altough we use them often in horsemanship, they are also important in the non-horse-world. Or to say it easier with the words of Pat: Parelli is way more than riding....
His dedication and positive energy is a great thing to experience and this meant to be not "only" his words but also this big bubble of dedication and positive energy which touches us.
After this session we had a session with our lead instructors about "Level 1 done with excellence". Even if we know all that, there are always things to learn: "good, better, best. Never let it rest. Get your good better and your better best".
We had also some time to play with our horses. Tes was much more calm and we had a much better time comparing to yesterday. She has some confidence issues with a bit, which will be added to the projects I planned to start after our playtime yesterday and today.
Before the lunch break Dr. Hooten came. He is a vet and we had a very interesting and helpful session about horse health.
After lunch break we had a session with Kristi Smith, Nita-Jo Rush and Ann Kiser. What 1st appear to be an emotional challange turned into a lot of fun. Somehow leaving the comfort zone in a very controled way to be able to expand it. I really loved the session.
Time again to play with our horses and time for me to start the little projects with Tesora. We walked around a little bit before I started with the bit issue. Not that the bit is super important in the moment for her but I want her to experience the bit more like a friendly game so that wearing the bit does not bother her as a preparation when it one day comes to communication with the bit. She is a quick learner and we had a very nice result on that.
After dinner we had a great session with Linda. Very powerful and positive session.
Now is time to let the bunch of informations and thoughts rest a little bit so that they will be absorbed unconsiously to be able to think about them in an unconcious competent way :-)
