YL FRIESIANS AND FELIX SANTANA TAKE THE DAY! Winning horses exemplify Young Living’s winning spirit
A MESSAGE FROM MARY The grand opening of South Korea and South Africa achieved our 5×5 goal this year of opening five new markets each year for five years. I was so rewarded to be a part of South Africa’s ribbon cutting of the new office and Experience Center, as well as greeting about 1,000 members at our first official gathering. I found myself deep in thought contemplating the rich culture and natural resources of this country, which is yet plagued with drought, terrible unemployment, crime, poverty, and the struggle to find racial equality. It gave me even greater appreciation for our Young Living family, as we share our mission and opportunity with those in the world who have an innate knowing that there is something better for them, but they just don’t know what it is and from where it will come. These new country openings are a new beginning, a small light at the end of the tunnel that brings hope where perhaps there was none. The light of South Africa is already spreading with excitement and opportunity throughout the entire African continent. Young Living can be that beacon of hope, not only for the wellness that is our foundation but also for the opportunity to be independent and build your own business for your future financial security—a lifestyle of wellness and abundance. Life is too short to live in conflict because of differences filled with jealousy and inequality. The world was Gary’s family, and together we embraced all cultures of people with love, understanding, and the intent to educate for a better world. As this year ends, let’s look forward to a new beginning in 2020 with renewed commitment to share what we have with those who are waiting for us, the messengers. Here’s a tip. Strong bones, youthfulness, and many other body functions are dependent on the production of human growth hormone, which is dependent on the balance of pregnenolone in the body. Pregnenolone is the master hormone that simply does what the body needs, as long as the body has enough from which to do its job. Gary formulated PD 80/20™ to support the body in this regard, which you might like to add to your weekly supplement regimen. It’s done wonders for me and I am grateful to have it. Try it and I’m sure you’ll be grateful too.
Young Living has captured coveted accolades at an exclusive Friesian horse breed event! Like our Percherons, who won the U.S.’s highest honor in their industry, Young Living horses Antonia YL and YL Zana came away from the Keuring—an event dedicated to the preservation and purity of the Friesian horse breed—with some truly remarkable wins. Antonia won First Premie Ster (pronounced “star”), Mare Champion, Champion of the Day, and Provisional Crown, while Zana won Second Premie Ster at the event in Hanford, California, at the beginning of October 2019. These champions are emblematic of a holistic approach to all aspects of life. It’s this approach that sets Young Living apart from the rest, whether that’s in personal wellness or horse breeding. Zana and Antonia’s accomplishments show what’s possible with the Young Living lifestyle. Both of these mares were bred, born, and raised on Young Living’s Mona, Utah, farm. Their new statuses reflect the breeding and training expertise we have at our facility and indicate that there will be more successes to come as we raise future foals. Our Friesian team invested a lot of hard work and skill to produce such excellent and consistent results, and that hard work and skill motivate all YL employees. Antonia’s accomplishment, especially, is the quintessential success that Founder D. Gary Young envisioned upon purchasing his first Friesian horse. Being a home-bred, home-raised Young Living horse, Antonia YL is the perfect archetype of what our Friesian breeding program has sought from the very beginning in honor of Gary’s vision.
As well as their excellent performance in the Keuring, our horses continued their successes in the Mare Show arena, a subsequent invite-only event for the best mares. Young Living presented Antonia YL and her mother, Fredau fan de Lege Geaen. Fredau won the Kroon (pronounced “crown”) Mare Class, having previously received a First Premie Ster status at the Keuring, and passed a meticulous athleticism test. Fredau’s win denotes that she is among the most athletic and aesthetically pleasing horses of the Friesian breed. “I had a good feeling about Antonia YL,” says Felix Santana, manager of the Friesian horse team. “When you’ve been doing this for years, you kind of have your own scores, I guess. After Antonia YL won Champion of the Day, I looked up at the sky and started tearing up thinking of Gary Young and the day we sat in his kitchen. Gary said that he wanted to breed the best Friesians in the world. I just kept thinking, ‘Gary, I think we got it. We’re almost right where you wanted to be.’ "I feel pretty blessed to have been at the right place at the right time when I met Gary. The biggest dream of any breeder is to breed and raise an approved stallion. We’re on the map around the world now. They don’t look at us like an underdog anymore.” Check out the Facebook page to learn more about Antonia YL and YL Zana, as well as the YL Friesian program! Facebook.com/YoungLivingFriesians
TAKING THE FIGHT AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING TO NEW HEIGHTS The YL Extreme Team joins Hope for Justice to summit Mount Kilimanjaro
