The achievement picnic was a tremendous success. As we watched the enactment of progress made by the students, accompanied with song (and dance) and poetic motion between horse and human, our hearts were drawn closer to the passion of Life on The Farm AND faith-based Natural Horsemanship. Many were brought to tears. Time and time again, we’ve invited the Holy Spirit to come, help us, teach us - the achievement picnic was a beautiful demonstration of His great outpouring in the students, the families and the horses!
Thank You, Father for Your faithfulness to help us in our endeavors! Thank you everyone whose efforts helped to accomplish the successful school year!
MILLIE’S “GLORY”

So the story goes - Millie was supposed to be in-foal when we rehomed her, NOT! Marvin was supposed to be a Mule. According to Dr. Nash, NOT! Secretly, Millie married Billie (who knows when - Millie never cared for Billie!) Both Marvin and Billie were gelded, but NOT before Billie married Millie. And then Marvin became a Mule again. So the story of Glory is that God gave us back a pregnant mare, to learn more about His beautiful creation in the birth of a horse, named appropriately for His nature! GLORY!
HAY! Y.O.U.!
To all who came out to help pick up, load and unload, 154 bales later, we are set for summer, hopefully through fall. To those unable to make it, there’s always another day for hay, another way to help! We know you’re there for us!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
GOT SAVVY?? WE DO!
From knot-tying, to TRAIL BLAZING, to trailer loading, to VICTORY IN JESUS! Whether you were participating, auditing, spectating, setting up, or taking down, we ALL agree the Parelli Clinic with ROBIN HARRIS was an over-the-top learning experience.
Zee had VICTORY during the clinic, and was able to ride not only in the field, but on the trails!
No worries team if you weren’t able to come, we’ve got SAVVY NOTES and SAVVY OUTLINES to share with you! And then there’s this Fall, Robin will be back!
GIVE ME THE BOOT!
Ye’ ol cowboy boot is quietly filling up. The additional clinic fees went right in the boot. We’ve had to pull from the boot for Millie and Glory, but we are steadily hobbling forward in our boot! As you are led, gifts above tuition are added to our boot fund as you acknowledge. We are still deciding what goal we would like to meet.
Ideas are: a lesson horse (Draft, Belgian?); water line to front and bottom barn;swimming pool (oops, now WHERE did that suggestion come from??);Basement School Room; a Folly out back (check that out for yourselves) etc..Thank you for your help!

SUMMER TIME FUN!
Look out summer, here “V” (no pun intended) come! If you haven’t already done so, check out our June calendar. It’s a foretaste of our planned summer activities which will include Field Trips, Community Service Projects and SUMMER FUN! Summer is a time for laying back, relaxing, having fun in the sun. So join us an additional day. We are here Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and alternating Saturdays. You are welcome to come one or more of these days. Mondays are Student Taught Lessons, we could use your help teaching, setting up, shadowing. And then, who knows, we may Blaze a Trail!
FAMILY CSP
It’s been a beautiful thing to see the Spirit of Unity among our students and their families. Where there is a need, there is a coming together to help meet the need. This month, dads will come together to Help lay landscape timbers on the side pasture which will help prevent the serious loss of soil through erosion at the bottom barn.
We’ve titled this little mini-mission effort, Family Community Service
Project. If you have a special need at your home or farm, please let us know and join us as you can!

KNOW IT ALL OR NOT?
Students many time assume their “teacher” knows or should know more than them in certain areas of study. In a position of leadership or authority, teachers may think THEY know it all. As a teacher, I’ve recently come to realize I certainly do NOT know it all. Yes, it was truly an Ah-Hah moment! Not knowing it all is a good thing. It requires us to press into our Creator. Assumptions can lead to “expectations”. When others eventually don’t measure up, we become disappointed. Even and especially in our pursuit of excellence and “achievement”, it’s easy to get puffed up, to assume, we’ve arrived. While accomplishment is a necessary and purposeful in life, our hope should remain in God. My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him. 6He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.…Psalm 62:5 When God is trying to teach us in an area of our lives that requires “shoring up”, He brings reminders in many ways. This week’s devotional on Wednesday spoke on humility. We should all be attaining to learn more about life purpose and meaning. In the process, we are to remember to Whom we belong to and to Him alone be the glory! Let your Savvy be genuinely sweet in the presence of the Lord!
