<< I taped several of their lessons so that they would have that for review (about 2 hour's worth). Whenever you have a 'crash course', weekend clinic type situation, there is a ton of information shared - many mega bites. When you get back home, you are lucky to remember 3 or 4 key points! The tape should serve as a reminder a few months down the road. >> Hi Gayle- I'll second that Rafael is looking and feeling great! Watched the tape several times. VERY helpful. We have a video camera and will start taping eachother when we practice new things. It's great to compare what you think your are doing or want to do in the saddle to the "overview" of the tape. Lots of lightbulb moments! I socked away most (I think!) of what you taught us. Now Jack gets to listen to me nagging all the time "Don't say WHOA with the same intonation as TROT" "Don't pull his head the wrong way" "Set yourself up to succeed!" and so forth... Well, I figure I'll remember what he forgets and he'll remember what I forget, so together we have a complete program : ) Also using the new "rein method" on Tommes with great success. He's not trained for neckreining, but he understands the concept with a slight direct rein "hint." We love our "Gayle reins!" They feel so good in the hands, are so flexible, and the poppers keep those pesky ends from creeping up the saddle. Thanks! Updates as we progress...
