It's Going To Be A Really Good Year

I had my first lesson with Sandi Parker, and it was all and more than I expected it to be. In fact, I've committed to lessons twice a month! It took me longer than I expected to get to her place, so I was late (so sorry!), but she was great and we got started. I didn't bring my boy because I wanted to concentrate on my abilities and not worry about him. She put me on this little guy named "Rocket" which, if I would have thought about it, I might have been a little apprehensive about because of his name. But he proved to be a very good boy, and showed me the truth about my riding skills. We started with the basics and she assessed my skills and abilities. After the lesson I felt I would progress at a much faster rate and with better results with her as my trainer, rather than trying to learn everything using the DVD's alone. She encouraged me to connect with Parelli people, and I told her that I had joined the Bay Area Savvy Players (BASP). Their first meeting will be on Thurs, Jan 14, and I am really looking forward to it. I am also a member of the Monterey Bay Equestrians (MBE), and our first ride is scheduled for Sat, Jan 23rd. It's a beach ride and potluck. I have a feeling it's going to be a really good year.
