Volonteering was so much fun. I enjoyed every second of it and I´m looking forward to next years volonteering. It was long days though and we didn´t get to see much of the show but it was still well worth it. It´s very uplifting to work in a positive, progressive environment were everyone knows what you are talking about.
On Friday we had our first volonteermeeting at 8.45 a.m and after that we got devided in groups. Monika and I got to go and clean up the green railings in the arena so we got to see Pat playing with Magic and Linda preparing for her Horsenality presentation and we also got to see Mikey play with Pegasus and some other instructors - what a treat!! Just that was worth the trip!
In the afternoon we helped hanging up clothes. In the evening we volonteers had a nice supper at the Hilton, most of us went to bed early.
Saturday we met at 5.30am at the arena and prepared the last things before the growd came. Monika and I worked at the retail and it was super busy. 6000 people attented the Celebration and the air just vibrated with exptectations.
We got to see a little bit of the show, like Linda helping Larissa with her lbi - omg, what an eyeopener for me. Isn´t it funny that I got to see exactly what I needed to see :)). And lucky us we got to see Magic´s swansong, her last good bye in Europe. There was no single eye try in the arena, even the men who volonteered cried. But you know what, it is absolutly ok to cry if you watch Pat and Magic playing together.
Saturday evening we went to the Party at the Hilton, none of us stayed long though because we were so tired. I got to meet Jo finally though which was super fun.
Sunday we met early again and it was super busy all day. In the evening we volonteers got invited to a lovely supper at the arena together with the Parelli team.
There is so much more to write about but I have to think it through a little bit more first.
Summary of the weekend - totally awesomeness!!
