The Seminar in Cincinnati was great. The NFHR, the Evaluation Committee and Wayne Hipsley are to be commended for their support, enthusiasm and hard work. Especially to Anne Appleby and Tom Hans. It was encouraging to see the interest by the Auditors and to realize how many people are in this "together" with the same goals and dreams. As a trainee - I was surprised to see how important the "form to function" (that Wayne has been drilling into us) truly is. Correct conformation will lead to an athlete. It was also interesting to see the difference of movement with some horses when ridden and then driven. Some showed dramatic change. As a rider do we interfere? ---or -- when we drive is it more difficult to engage our horses. Wayne showed some great footage of stallions in Norway at liberty. It was interesting to see how different horses of the same breed can move - and boy was there a difference! There is a vast education in all the videos with Wayne's narration - Pat Holland
