Trisha wren ~ Connect With Your Horse

Great fun and great weather! Loved the body wraps.

Very good 3 days, especially the tail and ear work. What made the biggest impression was the talk about small ponies; they quite often don’t get taken seriously or get appropriate attention!

I had great success halting with head lowered; wonderful that we achieved it so gently and I now have the skill to help my other horse with this too. Other stuff: the wraps work SO well! Also, the skills of affecting the horse so dramatically with the Ttouches, especially in the ears, are just so special. Thank you.

I loved the bodywork. I think it will be really beneficial for my mare. Already I am seeing a difference with her after the groundwork and asking her to step forward one step at a time –
especially getting her into position by something to allow me to get on her! Great learning things we can do to calm our horse when they become anxious about something. She had become very weary of trucks. Today while waiting to cross the road, a truck came past. I did some inchworms up her neck and she was so much better than she has been lately. She just stood there and watched it. I enjoyed meeting some local people with common interests that I can keep in touch with, and hopefully, ride with in the future. It was a very worthwhile clinic, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Two weeks after this clinic we held an informal ‘playday’ so that we could practice together and remind each other of any bits we’d forgotten. We went through everything with 3 different horses, which was really useful. More playdays will be planned, and Edie Jane will be back in 2010.
