With championships, displays and entertainment, HOYS Diamond Jubilee promises to be a spectacular not to be missed! For tickets or more information please click here. QUESTION I have been working Patterns for a couple of weeks now. My gelding is Left-Brain Introvert on the ground (different horse under saddle). I have a couple of questions for you as I am a little imagination-challenged. ;) First of all, when we're doing a Pattern, I know we're supposed to do it seven times. Is it supposed to be "perfect" by the seventh time and we move on to the next level in that pattern (Figure 8 in my case)? Or do we do the Pattern seven times, then move to the next Pattern and keep working on the previous one as well till it gets good enough to move it to the next level? Or do we just go all the way through Level 2 (for example) in one savvy before moving to Level 3 in any task in that savvy? I'm so confused by all this! We're still working on Level 1 Figure 8...when he comes around the barrel to draw to me, he either stops there or goes wide and I have to put pressure on his halter to bring him in. We've done it seven times now and we still don't have it to where he'll just do it. And he'll trot past me between the barrels, but then walk around them. Melissa ANSWER Great questions! No need for perfection, and don't do them more than seven times. The idea is to follow the pathway all the way through Level 1, checking it off as you go, and then move on to the Level 2 track. This will move you through the Patterns and keep developing and progressing both you and your horse. Be happy with the walk in Figure 8 and having to still draw him towards you. That's just fine for Level 1! What you have to make sure of is that you are taking care of his horsenality. For example, if your horse is Right-Brain Extrovert you stay on the Pattern until he is calm before you quit. If he is Right-Brain Introvert, then you wait until he is confident and trusting. This means that there will be quite a bit of repetition if your horse is Right-Brain. If your horse is Left-Brain, there will be less repetition because when he is obedient then you stop. Trust that helps! 5 of 10 10/2/08 3:18 PM

6 "A Complaint Free World" Parelli History DownUnder! Excitement is in the air! 20 dedicated and committed Savvy Club Members from all over Australia have completed their first week of their six week module at our Sydney Centre. Our International Faculty Team consisting of Berin MacFarlane(AUS), Tara Harris(USA) and Trevor Carter(USA), along with support person and Level 3 grad Leena Weston(AUS) has joined our Aussie staff for the ride of a lifetime. Stay tuned - we will share some of our experiences with you each week via Enews! Remember, if you wish to come and join the fun and experience 'hands on' coaching with our Faculty next year, call us on be quick, our team will call after YOU! Above: Pat & Linda with Gail and Will Bowen. Will is the acclaimed author of "A Complaint Free World." Will and his family are avid Savvy Club Members and in the Parelli Program he finds many of the same principles that he espouses. We were all lucky enough to have Will give a presentation to our staff and volunteers at the Kansas City MO tour stop. Check out the book. It's a fantastic guide and reminder that the only permanent, constructive changes you can make in the world are the changes that you make in yourself. Will's 'self-training' concept is to wear his purple wristband that you move to the other wrist when you catch yourself complaining and he challenges you to be able to go for 21 days without complaining! Will has appeared on Oprah and lectures to top business groups such as the Fortune 100 companies and over 6 million wristbands have been given out. Reports from people who are changed by reading and using the strategies are powerful: "my life is fuller, happier; prospects for my business are better than ever" and "my relationships are more positive and there is less conflict in my life." 6 of 10 10/2/08 3:18 PM
