3 Day Clinic Completed with Flying Colours

A 3 Day Clinic held July 13 - 15 was completed with rave reviews from the participants. Terri and Brenda showed participants how to have a thinking partnership with our horses. The words can't and won't are not in our vocabulary any more. People who have never been on a trip with Terri and Brenda are now looking forward to many more. Camp was good and the weatherman cooperated, Chuck & Arvid provided some humour and the Border Collies joined us on the trail ride, doing just what they love to do, running and exploring! The next scheduled clinic is July 28, 29 & 30. See you there!

I'll be out at camp from July 12 - 16, so leave me a message and I'll get back to you later next week.

V.I.P. Pack Trip was AWESOME!

I just got off the phone with Terri & Brenda. They just got back from the V.I.P. Pack Trip and it was a huge success. They spent the last few days with some very special people. One of the guests, Karen, is a Vet. and treated everyone to 2 hr talk about horses! Everyone had a great time and in fact they are going to book a reunion trip for next year! Nothing beats great people and great horses spending time in the mountains together. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Owners Come In

This weekend the Training Horse Owners come in to pick up their horses, Terri and Brenda are looking forward to seeing them. The horses have spent 60 days with Brenda and Terri and each are ready to show off what they've learned at Camp. It's a weekend where they'll develop a new relationship. Let's hope we get a little break in this heat spell so everyone will be comfortable. There are still a couple of spots open for the July clinics, but don't hesitate, they'll soon be full. If you haven't booked on a pack trip, now's the time to do that too.

Roundpenning Clinic

The weather man cooperated and it was HOT for the Roundpenning Clinic on Saturday. All the spectators agreed, the clinic was awesome. We saw Terri & Brenda work with 4 different horses and learned that Roundpenning is not just about chasing them around until they're tired and I can get on now! LOL! The girls demonstrated how they teach the process of TRUST & RESPECT with each of the horses. I'm confident that I can take my horse, that I haven't been on for a year, back to the basics that he knows, and SAFELY get back on him to start riding. Looks like I'll be seeing you on the trail this week!

Terri and Brenda

We are all moved in and enjoying being back!

There was just enough sun to get everything parked and put away. We did it in record time as we are busy busy training horses. Terri is getting better every day and its so nice to be out riding here in God's country. Its so quiet and the horses sure have gotten a taste of mountain reality. Its pouring rain and we needed to wash clothes so we are in town today. Tex and Poko arrive tommorow, they are in the sale and we are going to be using them all summer. If I can't blog, we will call Lillian to post for us as we want to keep everyone updated on us! Talk to you soon...
