I'm posting this here because I guess some of my emails are not coming through. I was working off a hotspot setting up for a horse show and then when I got home last night, no power. So....now I've hijacked my parent's house and wifi where hopefully things will start working normally again. I'm excited to see you all tomorrow😊 Saturday is the day! It looks like it is going to be a WARM weekend, but not too terrible for the south in mid-June. Here's a rundown of the schedule for Saturday. Hopefully starting after noon will give you all a chance to get your horse's trailered while it's still cool. If you would, please text Kelli with your ETA. I'll send it via DM with mine. I will be coming in Saturday morning as well, so she is your best contact if you need anything while in transit. I'll put my number at the end of this email for you too.

I was so happy to listen to your latest podcast episode with your thoughts on lunging. I’ve been seeing it more and more at the barn where we board our horses, and being new to the horse world, something about it seemed very confusing to me. When I heard you speak about it I thought, “yes, that’s what I couldn’t quite put my finger on but you said it perfectly.” I knew it wouldn’t be my go-to before a ride, but I saw so many people following the trainer’s advice and then expressing that “it worked.” Your ten-minute Tuesday experiment really resonated with me, as I’m a big fan of the Masterson Method. I did your experiment before my Friday lesson, and even got some licking and chewing, and it felt like a peaceful way to start the ride, in a regulated way. Thank you!

I am back from Savannah, but remembered that I am helping setup for a youth dressage competition on Thursday, so office hours will be Wednesday night this week. Check the calendar for the updates! Happy Horse (and human) Camp kicks off this Saturday! I'm so excited and I have a lot planned for us. If you have any last minute questions feel free to post them here or send me a message/email.

Last week's podcast episode about the inside leg to outside rein connection had 3 exercises in it. I've uploaded those individually for your viewing pleasure and discussion. I'd love to know how these exercises go for you!

Your pre-camp exercises are in the classroom. Scroll down to the Happy Horse (& rider) Series. Let me know how they go 🤩
