Hi Everyone!
I'm new to the PMU message board. What a wonderful site! I would like to share a picture of me with my 2007 PMU rescue foal, Lil Skips Dakota. I have also attached a link to my YouTube video of our Official Level 1 Parelli Assessment. He was an untouched 8-month-old foal upon arrival. The songs that accompany the video were written by my husband, Bobby. I cowrote the third song, "Open Up Your Heart," which tells the story of Dakota's adoption. Watch, listen, and enjoy!

Thanks for sharing! He's absolutely gorgeous Looks like he's in that fun 2 yr. old mouthy phase! My Cody is now 5 and still always wants something to play with...... Great job

Thank you! He was an untouched 8-month-old when he arrived. It has been the most rewarding experience training him. He's not lacking in confidence or curiosity! I'm hoping to develop him in trail and endurance.
I took a look at some of your previous entries. Cody is beautiful! Your daughter has done so much with him.

Jane - you and Dakota are truely partners, mirrored in the beautiful songs.

That's a great compliment because it is the goal of my training to develop Dakota as a partner. Parelli Natural Horsemanship teaches you the psychology and communication of horses. This allows the human and horse to actively communicate without micromanaging. It's amazing how interested horses become in you when you give them the respect that they so deserve.

Please keep us posted on yours and Dakota's training. I cant't wait to see how this partnership develops.
