Erin Fowle is a Parelli Foundation scholarship recipient and a 3* Parelli Professional.  All scholarship recipients are required to give a few hours of their time to help in one or more of our program areas; Youth Horsemanship, Therapeutic Horsemanship, Horse Welfare, and Scholarships for the Talented and the Career Minded.  This requirement is called “Pay-It-Forward”.  Here are some thoughts from Erin about her horsemanship journey with the Foundation and her Pay-It-Forward experience.

When Cheryl Flanagan started rescuing racehorses who were not winning on the Florida tracks, little did she know how many puzzle pieces would eventually make up the picture years later in Georgia. On any given day, Save the Horses in Cumming, Georgia, is home to over 100 rescued equines. Cheryl has a strong belief in matching horses and humans so that as many horses as possible find happy forever homes.
