MILESTONES..INSTRUCTORS AND THEIR HORSES IN TRAINING! We’ve made it to at least sitting on Shiloh and Billy..They are doing well, but here’s an important reminder: For SAFETY sake, Always have a SPOTTER with you when working with our “Green”, newbie horses!
BLAZING A TRAIL...When The Mountain Stewards lead man, Don Wells came to visit and explained what his team would do to prepare a wooded trail through the hills of Victory’s Gait, we didn’t realize it would be a reality so soon. Today they were here, bright and early (8 AM), when I called to check in and offer hot drinks, MR. wells, said they were too far down the side of the hill for me to walk the distance!..He is hoping to have at least side ONE finished before the holidays..side TWO after January 1. It’s coming along, team. Next, we will be spending time walking and clearing limbs and debris left along the way.Then at some point we will incorporate “BOTANY” learning skills, reference the trees and terrain..Oh YEAH, and let’s not forget the opportunities to ride and teach others about BLAZING A TRAIL!
SPEAKING OF TRAIL RIDING, SEVERAL OF US DID JUST THAT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. WE HAD A ROAD TRIP (SCARLET, PAL & GRACE) OVER TO REEVIS MOUNTAIN SADDLE CLUB..ABOUT 5 MILES. THE BOYS AND I TRAILED OVER AND LEAH AND THE GIRLS MET US THERE AND TRAILED BACK..WAY TO GO TEAM!
A.S.S.E.S.S..M.E.N.T.S. - SO, DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF! IT’S JUST AN END OF THE YEAR CRAM N JAM! YOU’VE GOT THIS! IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR LEVELS, YOUR LOVE FOR HORSES ABSORBED AND RELEASED, NATURALLY!
KIRA WAS TELLING ME WEDS HOW WONDERFUL THE TEAMS HAVE COME ALONG THIS SESSION. HER LAST TEACHING DAY IS THIS FRIDAY, UNTIL MARCH, 2016. UNLESS THERE ARE FAMILIES OUT THERE THAT ARE STILL INTERESTED IN YOUR STUDENT CONTINUE LESSONS WITH KIRA??? IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, WE WOULD CONTINUE IN JANUARY.. PRAY ABOUT IT, THINK ABOUT IT. KIRA NEEDS TO KNOW IF IT’S A WRAP TILL MARCH OR DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE??
LETTER FROM KIRA; HELLO EVERYONE! I AM EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL THE AMAZING PROGRESS THE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS SESSION!@ tHEY HAVE COME A LONG WAY AND i AM SO PROUD OF THEM. IT HAS BEEN THE GOAL OF THIS SESSION TO EXPLORE THE 7 GAMES IN A WAY THAT IS FUN FOR BOTH THE HORSES AND THEIR PARTNERS. i HAVE SEEN GREAT CREATIVITY FROM THE STUDENTS AND A GENUINE DESIRE TO UNDERSTAND ‘WHERE TO BE, WHEN TO BE, AND WHY TO BE AND WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET THERE.” PAT PARELLI. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE A PART OF THEIR JOURNEY INTO NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP! I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEXT SESSION!
END OF THE YEAR - TAKING THINGS SLOWER. WITH ALL THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE, I AM PROBABLY THE LAST PERSON TO ENCOURAGE YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY TO DO AS PAT PARELLI SAYS, “TAKE THE TIME IT TAKES” FOR YOUR TIME TOGETHER AS A FAMILY. IT’S NOT ABOUT THE PRESENTS, IT’S ABOUT THE ETERNAL GIFT OF GOD. IF WE ARE SEEKING HIM, WE WILL FIND HIM. HE KNOWS RIGHT WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE NEED TO BE, SO THERE IS NO RUSH TO GET THERE. ONE OF MY SPIRITUAL MENTORS USED TO REMIND ME, “YOU CAN’T MISS YOUR DESTINY, IF YOU ARE PURSUING HIS KINGDOM PURPOSES FOR YOUR LIFE, HE WILL MEET YOU”. SO, DETERMINE IN YOUR HEARTS, TO SET THE RIGHT EXAMPLE. SLOW DOWN AND TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE GARDENIAS!
LIGHTING THE HOLIDAY CANDLES! FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11 IS OUR ANNUAL FAMILY HANUKKAH & CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION. THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE SCIENCE IN THE KITCHEN TO HELP PREPARE FOR OUR EVENING MEAL..MENU IS STILL IN PROGRESS, BUT IT’S LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE BAKED ZITTI! WE WILL HAVE A “RE-GIFT” WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE..SOMETHING NEARLY NEW OR USEABLE RELATIVE TO THE FARM, HORSES.BRING A GIFT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE.. IT’S HIS-STORY!

FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN - Not that kind of fire..we are talking HOUSE FIRE..One of Victory’s Gait special friends and volunteer (teaching, trailer, support), PAT , lost her home to a tragic house fire. Besides praying, we are working on encouraging donations as the family lost most everything (including 2 cats). We will be making a contribution as a ministry outreach. As her neighbor and friend, I would like to ask each family to consider a simple donation of $5-$10. We will have a donation jar on the cubby on the porch. We plan to offer the family a Community Service Project Day after the holidays..Thank you for your love, prayers and support!
FINALLY - AS WE END THE“IF MY PEOPLE SERIES”, PRAYING FOR OUR NATION, LISTENING TO THE NEWS, READING THE PAPER, WATCHING FB SOCIAL NETWORK, YOU WOULDN'T THINK ALL THAT PRAYING AIN'T WORKING, MRS. VICK!
WELL IT IS.. GOD IS EXPOSING THE ENEMY’S DEEDS. WHAT WE DON’T HEAR IS THAT REVIVAL IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD..PRAYERS ARE BEING ANSWERED..PEOPLE ARE COMING TO KNOW JESUS. THEY ARE GETTING SET FREE AND GIVEN THE MOST GLORIOUS CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT - ETERNAL SALVATION! KNOW REVIVAL HAPPENS, ONE HEART AT A TIME. SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD (ALWAYS ADVANCING, NEVER RETREATING), REMEMBER, IF GOD BE FOR HIS PEOPLE (THAT IS US) WHO CAN STAND AGAINST US? THE VICTORY WAS WON ON THE CROSS! IT IS OUR HERITAGE!
