Parelli Natural Horsemanship Devon Group

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!

All at Nancledra, Penzance, Cornwall

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!
