Hey eveyone!
I'm off to a clinic this weekend to learn about communicating with horses via groundwork and leadership - could be interesting. Will let you all know how it goes at the end of the weekend. I'm a bit skeptical of how this is going to transfer to under saddle work, but I'm always up for a challenge - and who wouldn't enjoy teaching their horses how to bow and do fun tricks? ;)
Have a great weekend! - Happy Riding

Update: Back from clinic!
Well that was fun! =) I got a horse to lay down with me in the middle of the arena and have a snooze whereby there were 11 other horses doing bomb-proofing things like tarps and cracking whips everywhere (picture coming soon :P). Very interesting clinic, I learned a lot about bomb-proofing horses and getting them to trust you as their leader. Don't think I've ever been to a clinic where there were so many horses in one arena so chill with so many weird things going on around them. I've always wanted to know how to lie a horse down, so now I know, and it's one more thing crossed off the 'to-do' bucket list.
Two weeks from now I'm headed back up to Phillipe Karl's clinic and am seriously looking forward to it. Yay!
Happy riding everyone.
