9/23/2011-   Well I got to go to Tennessee to visit Carol Coppinger, Licensed Parelli 6-Star Master Instructor.  She was hosting a Level 4 Camp at her facility and I had the honor of assisting her for the four days.  The first night there while everyone introduced themselves, I was surprised by Carol with the presentation of my Level 4 Horsemanship award.  This could be compared to achieving a black belt in martial arts.  I also was awarded my third star as a Parelli Instructor making me Lower Michigan’s first 3-Star Instructor and Horse Development Specialist.  I set out on this Journey almost seven years ago and am very excited to have achieved my goals!! Now I get to continue on to my next goals which are to reach the highest level of Instructor and Horse Development Specialist I can.  Big thanks to so many people who helped me along my journey I couldn’t have done it without all the support!
