Friday
Chaos as usual for the first day cos no one really knows what’s going on, it’s usually a ‘fly by the seat of your pants’ kind of thing. We turned up at the hotel last night to discover that the rooms booked for us where upstairs, and there was no lift. Only rooms available on the ground level were smoking rooms- no thanks. So me and Lauren drove around several hotels with me running in each time to ask about accessible rooms…it was about midnight when we finally found one, got to bed about half past and had to be up at 5:30am. Had a team meeting at the venue at 6:30am, the moon was still up and it felt like the middle of the night. I joined the media crew and was tasked with filming the Dream Horses. I should explain that the Dream Horse program is a way for the horses at the ranch to move on, rather than hang around for ever doing the levels and getting sour. The horses can be purchased for $1000 plus a donation to the Parelli Foundation (tax deductable)…Pat’s top Cutting horses require a donation of up to $150,000, lower end horses can be bought for $9000 ($1000 plus $8000 donation).
