As usual, I am late to the party! I find that I am so engaged in living life that I forget to share it with everyone else! So, here goes!
Weekend before the arctic freeze of Florida, I did my first Ocala clinic at Judy Downer’s lovely Starry Night Farm. We had a variety of horses and riders from young to older, just starting to schoolmaster and little to huge (the horses, not the riders!), but every single horse was of such a lovely quality! The riders were all enthusiastic and open to change, despite the weirdness of it, and the horses really showed why the biomechanics of the rider can change the horse!
A huge thanks to Judy for her organization, her hospitality and her yummy chicken pot pie! Thanks Al’s to Avery Woodworth Silvers for getting the ball rolling! I didn’t get any photos of your horse, I was too enthralled watching you both!
The bow on the weekend was getting to work with my first para driver! I have met Gene before and gotten to work with his lovely wife Leslie Hagberg, but this was my first time helping Gene.
Overall everyone made some great changes, had a super time and went home with lots to think, observe and do!
Check out the comments on the pictures for more background on each pair!
