QS WestVic

Well, what a fantastic four days was had by all Superb venue, not so superb weather the first 2 days, but then the sun came out, the birds were singing and everyone was making amazing progress

Here's some tah dahs . . . . .

• I need to focus on the front end of my horse as much as the bank end
• Ask for feel on my rope and give Clancy a chance to opt to comfort BEFORE I use my stick with rhythmic pressure and send him from discomfort
• Every time you pick up the rope you are having a conversation with your horse
• Believe in the "feel" of the rope and have a connection and offer = backwards step from phase 1
• Focus and believe! Look up and smile
• Absolutely loved the private lessons

And I saw . . . . .

• Some special connections between horse and owners
• Lindy got Rocky to straddle the pole
• Helen and Scarlett getting some lovely soft circles and cantered
• Sue and Bailey getting sideways
• Matthew and Phoenix finding "feel" on the rope
• Jen and Clancy sorting out where his attention should be
• And then they all got on bareback in their portable rounds . . . . in the perfect afternoon

Thanks Mel for your sharing your time, expertise and friendship so willingly . . . . it's greatly appreciated

It was a great four days . . . . in all ways  

The next Quantum Weekend with Mel will be in November and likely to be in the Gisborne area.  Keep an eye on the QS Forum site for details.
