Unless anyone wants to organise something specific, we have this down as an informal play day - all welcome, come along and use the school however you wish; we haven't had one in this format for a while, nice and relaxed (we do not have anything at cholwell booked until the end of July, so last chance to use the school with the parelli group for a while).

Can you please confirm you wish to come along, and whether for the morning, or the whole day, to ensure we have enough people to cover school hire please, we may just do the morning

Let me know if you wish to attend on fleur @naturalmatters.net just remove the space!

Recommended DVD made by a local Parelli student - Learn to stretch your horse!

2008-06-24T16:56:58+02:00

PLEASE NOW VISIT OUR OFFICIAL WEBSITE FOR UP TO DATE NEWS, COURSES ETC

http://www.savvysouthwest.co.uk/

A DVD for every horse owner - it teaches a 10 minute weekly stretch programme for horses - to improve performance, prevent stiffness and help you notice problems before they become disasters.

Devised and presented by Celia Cohen, ACPAT (A), a human and veterinary physiotherapist. Celia works alongside equine vets to treat all kinds of horses from family ponies to top racehorses and eventers. She believes that if everyone stretched their horses once or more a week, half her clients would not have a problem in the first place; and the other half would notice much sooner! That is why she devised this programme. On this DVD she shows how the stretches look on an experienced horse and how to teach them to a new horse. She explains what you are looking for and when you need help from your vet or physio. There is also a handy plastic pocket reminder card to take with you when you stretch your horse. This is 10 minutes a week that your horse will thank you for every day!

TO BUY Send a cheque for £18.65 (inc VAT and postage) to: Outpost Productions Ltd, PO Box 6500, Dorchester, Dorset, DT1 9BQ Or buy online using a credit card or paypal account at: www.outpostproductions.co.uk n.b. ACPAT (A) members are fully qualified Chartered Human Physiotherapists (MSCP’s) who have also trained in physiotherapy and rehabilitation for animals. Celia works part-time within the NHS on her human patients and the remainder of the week with horses by referral from equine veterinary practices (or by direct client bookings) in the South West of England

Crikes, havent had time to update this for ages

Well, we just got back from the Parelli conference at the NEC, what a fantastic weekend!

There were 48 of us from Devon, cornwall, Somerset and Dorset all sat right at the front, great seats and great fun! 5,000 people there in total - great stuff.

Huge support for Pat and Linda, brilliant to see how the popularity has grown, and how loyal students have been after the chaos left after the Equine Ethology debacle!

We took up a couple of banners (thanks Mary), one of them saying "pure parelli alive and kicking in the south west", and the other "welcome to our very own Alison Jones, Best in the West". Ali was both touched and embarrased. She did a great job with her horse Devon

Amazing to see the horses "in person", they brought Casper, Magic and Remmer, they all looked fabulous

I am pushed for time (nothing new there then!) so will write more later!

parelli fun day in cornwall

2007-04-24T23:52:22+02:00

Mary is hosting a fun Parelli Day in Lanner redruth - Saturday, 16 June.

Informal, just some playing around in the morning and then perhaps a fun ‘tournament’ in the afternoon, both online and ridden. Not sure if transport is an issue for some – so I could offer to pick up a couple of horses from reasonably local areas if that would help anyone. If everyone brings their lunch and a bit to share, we can make it a bit of a social. We would have to run the gauntlet of the weather (as my school is outdoors) but we are hardy Cornish types so that shouldn’t put us off!
