I guess I will start with my realization that my true passion is (obviously) horses, so why am I not making a career out of it? Plenty of people are coming up with ways to make horses profitable, so why can't I?
My true dream would be a Parelli Professional, a certified parelli instructor. It could be a rough start since the education is going to cost so much, so I am going to need a solid job on the side. I am currently going to school for Medical Technology and despise every second of it. While talking to my aunt about it, she suggested I look into a career with horses, like Vet Tech. Uh, why didn't I think about that before? It isn't a very profitable career, only about $30,000 a year. BUT, if I have my parelli career on the side, that would be beyond perfect. I could have a stable job working with horses in the Vet Tech pathway, but always get to live my dream by being a parelli professional. It sounds perfect, but getting there is going to be everything but easy.
Considering I am trying to make a career out of parelli, I decided to start a blog to track my progress (just as I have done with this blog and tack). You can visit my new blog here:
http://savvywithsonny.blogspot.com/
Feel free to follow Sonny and me there :).
Also, I just discovered http://draft.blogger.com/ . Why didn't anyone tell me about that before? I am not sure if I understand why blogger has two websites, but the 'draft' one is beyond awesome. It makes life so much easier when it comes to writing a post. I found it just in time to start my new blog!
What does all this mean for model horses? I am not exactly sure. I know it means that I won't have a penny to spend on them. But, I plan on keeping up with the blog and making tack when I can. If there are any specific posts you would like to see, (as always) just comment or e-mail me at labelle012@yahoo.com
Savvy on!
Do you have to be able to ride your horse to do Parelli? I've got a rescued quarter horse I'd love to do it with but he has navicular and that mixed with his past currently make him unrideable.
ReplyDeleteOf course not!!! Actually, I think parelli is prefect for horses that can't be ridden because you have to start on the ground no matter what! In fact, I almost always chose playing with Sonny online rather than riding him. It gives you so many goals and fun thigns to do, you and your horse would really enjoy it! If you check out my other blog, there is a 'links' page that should help you get started. If you have any questions feel free to email me at labelle012@yahoo.com !
