Megan, Cowboy will be there with me.  I need to learn how to make him run faster between the barrels.

I just talked to Jennifer and I am putting our clinic money in the mail to her today!  My husband and I are really looking forward to it.  Adrian is just starting to barrel race and his horse is in training with Mitzi Sunvison.  He will probably have TONS of questions!

Yesterday is history.
   Tomorrow a mystery.
      Today is a gift.
          That is why it is called the present.

So Sherry- your husband needs the basics, and you need to learn to hustle your horse.

WHAT does everyone else want to learn? 

I should add- that you need to bring a snaffle bit, either a ring snaffle or D ring snaffle to do our slow work in.  Something other than what you run your horses in, but preferably a snaffle.

I plan to teach some drills to keep your horses honest, a bunch of daily warm up drills and exercises and we'll work on keeping horses collected in the turns, and talk about your seat position and stirrup length affect our balance and that of our horse.

Well, considering Gabe just got a bath, mTG on his face, conditioner in his mane and tail, liniment sprayed all over, fly spray, grain with joint supplement and treats.....he is not spoiled, just loved  <LUV> <LUV> <LUV> <LUV> <LUV>

However, we do need someone to yell at us(me) to push him in the right direction! By the way, Gabe likes cake...carrot cake..... :)/\\ :)/\\ :)/\\ :)/\\ :)/\\ :)/\\ :)/\\ :)/\\ :)/\\
