Well we finally did it! Dillon is (finally) well again and I've got my act together; so here it is, our level 1 online audition........



Yesterday we did a trial run and Dillon decided he would be an extreme LBE, rather than his usual LBI. So today when he was his usual self and everything went smoothly, what took 10 minutes yesterday, only took 6 today! So I had to improvise after the pedestal and the last 2 minutes were made up on the fly! I hope it doesn't show!

Anyway I'll send it off for assessment and we'll see what Parelli think...........

Many many thanks to my able cameraman, Gareth, who offered not only technical and cinematic support, but also emotional support and encouragement throughout my Parelli journey.

With the help of Darna doing the camera work, finally got around to filming my level 1 assessment with Whinney. Bar a little hiccup with my backup from trot (she was ahead and to the side of me all the way on the first attempt leaving me looking very silly waving my arms around like a chicken!) all seems to go well.

Anyway decided not to do a second take and instead see what the examiners think of the audition...
