We are planning a Share Parelli Party and cook-out and will provide more information on

We are asking that you don't bring your horse. We would
love if you bring a guest or a few so they can see how Parelli works. Some of the members will be doing a demo
for everyone to watch and our guest can see how the relationship is so important to our horses.
More details will be
coming out, so mark your calendars for June 12 at 5:00. Please RSVP with how many guestws you will have attending.

Thank you to Ted Rall for donating coupons to the GOGO's for a luxury yacht casino cruise and
buffet. Ted and his wife, Diane, participated in the Jesse Peters clinic and Ted is the manager of the cruise from Little
River, SC (minutes from Myrtle Beach). The cruise includes a bit of gambling (if you so desire) or you may
simply enjoy the entertainment and a buffet dinner for the coupon price of $10 per person. They do have a
Saturday and Sunday afternoon cruise on the schedule. We are tentatively planning this trip for January
and will discuss dates at the November gathering. For more information about the cruise visit http://www.bigmcasino.com/ Please note that you must be 21 or older to board.

Regarding October 31
The plan for
Halloween is the potluck and spotlights. Linda will have a sign up sheet at the barn beginning Thursday. The event
is open to all Jesse Peters students and GOGO members. She can't promise an evening ride as that is up to Jesse but
it is a possibility...perhaps a game of tag under the lights, too. We aren't having a costume contest and expect
some may be in costume for their spotlight.
The GOGOs won a Spotlight at the Parelli Celebration in Lakeland Florida being held October 9th thru 11th.
Some of the GOGOs have also been approved for individual Spotlights. Let's all give these dedicated members our support
and congratulations for your dedication and achievements. We know you will be a wonderful success.
