Florida 2013

Hello Dearest Readers,

I have been poorly lacking in updates, I know. Sorry. Prince and I have been enjoying the warm weather here in the Sunshine State! What a pleasure it has been to spend the last month and a half here. Playing and riding Prince every day. We have made much progress and are getting ready to submit our Level 4 Liberty with hopefully our Freestyle to soon follow in the next month or so. Exciting times!

There are so many learning opportunities here in Florida this time of year it is amazing! I attended the Dressage Summit, several days of three different Martin Black clinics, a part day at HITS (where I got a free IRH helmet), volunteering backstage at a Sylvia Zerbini show and so many other memorable things!

Time has gone very quickly but I am enjoying every minute, as can be expected.

Here is a video highlighting some of Prince's and my time here over the past weeks. The liberty footage is from Prince's and my trial liberty audition... I hope you enjoy :)

Naturally,
~Keri-Lynn

I have been doing Parelli since April 2006. I bought my first horse, Prince, on April 21, 2006 at the age of 11. That was when I started this amazing journey.

I officially passed Level 3 in 2010 and with three Level 4 savvy passed my aim is to pass my Finesse within the next year and then start a new part of my journey as a Parelli Professional and help make the world a better place for humans and horses.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Feel free to leave a comment! I love them!
