hello from Rural Derbyshire, My name is Lesley I am a very mature woman who has only been into horses for a couple of years, I became the caretaker of Bojangles 4 years ago, he was sold to me by a romany dealer who told me that he was 7, he lied my boy was rising 4, had only been under saddle for 3 weeks, started by gypsy children, I was ready to sell him when he spooked, bucked, reared, dragged me everywhere and i thought he was trying to kill me, it turned out he was a right brained baby who thought i was trying to kill him!!! A frien gave me a parelli dvd that was free in a magazine, That was the start of my Parelli journey we have recently gained our level 1 and 2 online and have just begun our level 2 freestyle, we are almost ready to film our level 3 liberty audition, I have confidence issues when riding and next week i am going to have my first parelli riding lesson.

Welcome Lesley. We do have a special section for audition tapes. You might want to look at a few to give you pointers.

Oh, I like Bojangles too! Love his name. I have a life-long friend here who breeds them here. You'd never believe, but they sell from $10K to $50K in the states. They are rare here. Such sweet horses. They are like large, harry, Labradors. :-)

I'm glad you found us. This is a nice group here.
