FUN! I am thinking I will bring my big guy - but he is acting kind of colic-ish today so worst case might bring malibu. I don't know about others, but we are having the spring grass flush already, and even with the new nibblets, my kids all had mild tummy aches and loose poo last night  Lots of probiotics for everyone and they got fed in the stalls this morning before turning out so they wouldn't gobble on the grass... I have NEVER had this issue in FEBRURARY before! Sara in WA |

Hey - dumb question - what are you wearing??? I was going to wear jeans and boots, but Dennis said we most likely won't ride, so was thinking about wearing my fleece riding pants and tennis shoes instead so that I am more comfortable - easier to layer under too - not sure how chilly it will be....
thoughts?

i have to say - this clinic was wonderful! Dennis is so genuine and so kind to the horses. He has a quiet way he works with the horses on an individual basis and is very encouraging to the owners. I would go again in a SECOND and actually have worked it out where I will be going to private lessons with Dennis 2-3 times a month!
Kadin did outstanding and by the end of the day was doing stuff i had taught him in the past by only using simple finger commands - not pulling on a halter or using a whip aid(well still using it some, but not much!)
It was nice to meet both of you, although I apologize we didn't get to chat more!! At lunch, I put Kadin in the trailer to eat and he decided it would be an OUTSTANDING idea to put his leg through the brand new nylon corner feeder in the trailer.... ended up hung up and falling over!!! Sheesh.
If you get a chance to do a clinic with Dennis - GO - you won't regret it!!
