 FEEL OF, FEEL FOR, FEEL TOGETHER

I still can't believe how lucky I am to have Farrah Green as my mentor for the Parelli Foundation Future of Horsemanship Scholarship. Farrah is an amazing teacher and knows exactly how to feel for her students, both human and horse. I have never met someone who can teach with such finesse and timing before. In particular she knows how to put her students out of their comfort zones just the right amount, never letting them get unconfident or discouraged while getting more out of them and their horses than they thought they could. I end my lessons with her feeling even more excited to learn and always inspired and encouraged. 
 
I had a spectacular week with her in Cody, Wyoming, and feel so blessed to have this opportunity. My lessons with her focused on my next two auditions, Level 4 Online and Level 3 Freestyle. I couldn't wait to teach my horse Kai this stuff! 
 
We also all worked on an obstacle course for the horses during our stay. I did have some doubts about finishing it in time for the open house, however with everyone's hard work it all came together! 
 
It was beautiful to see Farrah leading and organizing the whole thing. She made sure all members of her team felt happy and appreciated while keeping us focused and on task. Because of this everyone gave a 120% and it all came together. 
 
When it was time for the open house I got to be part of a savvy team for the first time! I was so nervous at first but when I saw how happily the rest of the savvy team was working together in the arena I calmed down enough to really enjoy myself. I loved the energy of the whole savvy team-- so welcoming and so focused on building savvy and being better partners. 
 
 
I also got to ride in my first parade before we went back home to Canada. What was interesting is that the majority of the riders at the parade treated their horses with kindness and understanding.
 
I learned an incredible amount during my stay in Cody--about true leadership and teamwork and of course being a better partner for the horses that I play with.

Having people to be with is such a strange feeling. I have been alone all my life, which is why I can say this. Whenever I read a blog about people who have been making memories with others, I cannot help but feel a little bit jealous. I do wish that they comes a time when I can feel a little bit better about myself. I want to learn how to live my life with people around me too, you know.
