i was just feeling a little down this evening when i decided to make this. samson and i had a pretty bad fall on sunday.
he is 100% fine, i got the worst of it.
all of these clips are brand spankin’ new! basically i can’t ride my horse but he’s amazing and puts up with me anyway. the clip of me going into the water jump is literally seconds before i came off, unfortunately not on film.
jumped him today even though my head is a bit weird, and he went amazingly amazing. he is such a star.
connor is in the blue and rode him aswell, samson jumped so well for him.
there’s lots i want to say, but this upload has gone too fast! curse you speedy internet!
sometimes everything can seem to pointless and so hard, but you just have to take the good with the bad, dust yourself off and start again. pick up the pieces and use as much sticky tape as possible to fix it. because this is all i can do. i’m not going to walk away, neither are you. i promise i will learn to ride you properly, some day, and get the best from you that other people can. i am sorry that i let you down so much, i make you look like a fool and hide all of your amazing talent. you deserve so much better but you’re stuck with me. it’s okay fat pony, i will someday become the rider you deserve.
words cannot describe the love i have for this horse.
love xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Gam was awesome as always, Bay is just a little slower to catch on, but I love him just the same. Thumbs up for rescue horses!

On May 13th a fundraiser was held for the Parelli Foundation at The 17 Ranch in Thamesford, Ontario. The event was attended by more than 150 spectators, their $20 donation at the door and additional donations they made for their free BBQ dinner combined with the raffle prize participation raised $4300.00. The time between 6 and 7:00 pm was the pre-show. The pre-show was an opportunity for the students who were currently enrolled in the ongoing clinic to participate. In groups of three they played in front of the gathering crowd to music (three songs) online playing with what they know. The students, of the 5 day Parelli Experience camp seized the opportunity to be outside their comfort zone and participate in front of the audience. After a brief welcome and introduction, a small explanation of the Parelli Foundation, the audience was next treated to watch 4 of Canada’s Junior Instructors, Randee Halladay, Todd Owens, Maureen Owens and Jan Brooks play in three savvy’s. One of The Parelli experience participants, Laura Albin, is a long time student of Eddo Hoekstra and Mr. Walter Zettl. Laura and Don Halladay rode a very well received Dressage duet. The display of finesse in both English and Western saddles was a huge impact for the crowd. Throughout the evening our master of ceremonies John Baar inspired and entertained the audience with anecdotal stories and educational references. After the 30 minute break the Grand finale took place. Don Halladay wow’d the crowd with his liberty session (riding Smart Kokie Joe and playing with Maverick at Liberty) this was followed up with a demonstration of working cows. Some of the fast manoeuvres made by Don and his cutting horse got some of the loudest cheers of the night.
