Jana Neřádová said… - Hi Amanda,
I just want to tell you that I asked for that groundworking and I CAN DO IT! I am sooooo happy. Today was first day of trying and I think it was good. I do it with one of our school pony - his name is Cinnabun (Cinny) and I think it will be really funny to work with him. :-)

Still Green said… - Hi Amanda
Thank you!!! I'm really glad that yesterday I participated in the clinic with Frank Grelo. It was only because you encouraged to do so that I did. He is such a great man! I was quite nervous but he made me laugh and smile the whole time. He wanted to know what I wanted to work on and I told him I wanted to work on my aids to better direct the horse. Which we worked on for a bit and then he decided I should canter to get a better seat/position I think..I'm not really sure why but we did. I have cantered twice since I've come back to riding...I was very scared as couple of weeks ago my Friesian friend stumbled and I landed on his neck. I have been shaken ever since. Anyways, Mr. Grelo made a rein with the lunge line and he was controlling my large friend from the ground. He does not like to canter on the left and bucked a bit which made me even more scared. So now we were working on my fear which I didn't realise was so GREAT until I had no control and was cantering in a circle. Mr. Grelo kept making jokes and finally I loosened up. He is such an excellent trainer because I think he keeps everything very light and yet he can pinpoint exactly what the problem is and deals with it immediately. His intuition is amazing. He told me that he could tell that I really wanted to but my fear was keeping me from it. I would really love to be able to work with him again but he is so far away. Hopefully he'll have another clinic close by or not that close by and I will definitely participate again.
Thank you once again for your words of encouragement.

- Yeah, I'm very excited! I think it will be easier for me to train this foal because of the horses I trained before. I'm going to ask Simone if I can try groundwork with one of her school horse. But I think I will not be successfull. But I want to try it. The foal will be from mare Veracruz which I rode....that dark bay mare with which I do groundwork and stallion Werbespot http://www.sportpferde-schmidt.de/en/index.php?seite=hengste&sub=werbespot .

- I'm not studying for any certificate, just working and sometimes riding. But there is a lot of nice people. Last week I was with Simone in Blainville for five days. There was large competition and she was very good. I'm looking forward for my future foal which is now 92 days old and will born around 27th February 2010 so maybe I will go back to home in February to be with my foal for all the time.

- Hi Amanda,
how are you? How it's going with that 5yo horse? I'm still at Queenswood and hope my English is a little better. Here is a lot of work in stable and not so much riding. But I think it needs a time. I'm a little disappointed that they are not doing any groundwork with horses except lunging. But I think it's normal in stables like this is.
So have a good day.

Equine Canada CEO responds to today's FEI decision on Rollkur.
Read the comments here.
will overzelous stewards be looking for something in a rider they do not like?
Will fruit to one be assumed to be specifically an apple? The wording is both ambitious and it is double talk- and there is not one concise exact way to say what exactly…
OK guys, the first of the federations has weighed in the the Rollkur decision. I spoke with Equine Canada CEO Akaash Maharaj this afternoon.
Here's when he had to say.
If your horse is not showing or competing in anyway I would suggest not to feed her grain at all, especially if the hay is of high quality, no dust, lots of leaf, good mix of timothy and alfalfa. Also, certain types of morgans are very easy keepers,…
