Martini is now doing very well, she was just confused and had no idea what was expected of her, she has all the ground work down and is doing well undersaddle, she is doing a great job for just under a month of training.

 Half moon a new qh mare came in for training, she is very smart and in less then 1 week, can do all the ground work like a pro. 

 We have been very busy with training and lessons and we are now trying to get ready for the gaited horse demo at the walnut creek equestrian center.  This would be alot easier if I didnt work fulltime in the medical field! 

 I have gotten very good feedback on the training DVD's and will get some new ones out, once I find the time. 

this is the 2nd day of working with martini, but it is not as exciting as the first day, will try to update her videos in a couple weeks. there are more videos of her on training page

Martini is doing very well for 1 week, she was confused and had alittle attitude, but she is coming along nicely, she has most of her ground work down very well and now will tie patiently, goes in the crossties and the washrack and i even clipped her today after several days of preparing her. I'm sure she will test me some more, but thats part of the fun of training.

 The trails were quite exciting today, with the lady letting her warmblood loose in the arena on the hill as we were trying to pass, nothing like trying to keep your horse calm on the way home past an exploding horse, and then the lady running down the hill at our horses and wouldnt stop even with all my yelling, i finally had to whistle and then i got the dumb founded look of, whats wrong? as we are trying to keep our horses calm, while she almost ran into us. just another exciting day on our trails.
