March Madness

(Mariah & Cathy at Abuelo's in Myrtle Beach this past weekend)

Hello Family,

First off, I would like to offer an apology for not being as consistent as I should on keeping all of you updated on my life. It has been quite hectic, in a good way. I have been very quite sick the past 3 weeks or so, but I am pretty stubborn and have teamed up with my new best friends "Cough Drop", "Alka-celtzer" and "Tylenol". The play day was relaxing, and met some wonderful new friends. One of which I will be going to his stables and working with his horse on Saturday here in Charlotte.

The herd is doing very well, a new Vet came over Thursday to give them their spring shots. All I heard from him was "Your horses are so well mannered!", what a compliment. I have also been enjoying my dance a lot, I am starting Bronze 2 after only 6 lessons and my dance instructor invited me to the 'Dance' on Friday afternoon. I am really enjoying this dance, I know I would do this as a living if I was not into horses and I plan to continue to be the best me I can be in it just like I am with the horses. I have been asked to be interviewed on Natural Horse Network on April 15, 2009 at 5 PM MST/7PM EST, Pat & Linda Parelli have been interviewed here, so have Neil Pye & Mary Ann Kennedy. I am very excited about this rare opportunity, and very thankful.

I have also been asked to do a couple of other performances here in the Charlotte area, which I am very flattered by. I am going to, soon, if the Lord allows, to take the last step in which I will get my green string. Sundance and I have practiced twice, and we are about ready. If the weather is nice, either tomorrow or Wednesday we will get it taped. I am excited about it, and really hope they will be impressed. I hope all of you are having a wonderful time, and would love it if any of you could leave a comment and give me and update on how everything is going in your life.

Cheers!

Liberty Audition Results are In

From Carol...

Hello Mariah,

Congratulations!! You passed your Level 3++ Liberty!!!! Hurray! Very nice use of arena, very nice use of your techniques. You had tons of level 4 so to really make it a solid Level 4 you would want to do some Liberty in the round pen and play the 7 games and make sure you allow the horse to circle 6 to 8 laps with you standing in neutral then leave the round pen and go play in the open as you did also include some change of direction and transitions and some flying changes.
Great job! It was a pleasure to watch.

It will be a couple of weeks before you get your certificate, as I said before we are working on the logistics of getting them to you.

Please reply to this e-mail and let me know you received it. Please include your full name, address, phone, e-mail, horse’s name, Savvy#.

Thanks and you are so on the RIGHT TRACK!!

Talk to ya soon.
Carol
