Thanks girls. I don't know where you are but before I was a mum I travelled to teach body awareness.....it's amazing how much it can help with any discipline.
I am planning a clinic in Melb later in the year I hope.
Did one in Perth a good few years ago.....it's so much fun watching horses faces when their people "get" it :-)
A friend and I popped up to Horse World to watch the hacks go 'round a few weeks ago..........gosh there were some lovely horses and some ordinary work-outs. Lovely show though but I prefer to compete at SIEC
I think one of my clients is off to HOTY this year.......haven't heard from her for a bit as she's going pretty steady since the royal here.
The horse that was here today was a complete pain and wouldn't get on the float yet he was a total angel about getting plaited. His rider was driving to the show this evening so I hope to god she got there OK.......still waiting for a call.....arrggghhh. It's awful driving somewhere new with a horse and arriving in the dark!
Does anyone else manage to compete and juggle a little person?
Also my good mate offered to loan me a 8hh pony for my son. Has anyone else done the lead rein thing? I was hoping we'd avoid getting him a pony until he's really keen on it. It is however very tempting .............

I used to enjoy all the big arab shows........trained a lot with a bloke called Shane Ackerly but I don't think he rides much anymore. I used to do side-saddle and costume as well as hacking and dressage.......the old mare got a few blues for working stock-horse too!
