Jo commented on Wiola Grabowska's blog post 'Where do I go from here?'

Hi Wiola, Kingsley might be picking up on your anxiety/sadness? Re your location - why are you in London - is this due to your partner? Can't he relocate? What about a bit of self-interest/self-promotion? YOU CAN DO THIS! Be careful what you…

Jo commented on William Micklem's blog post 'ROLLKUR - Huff and Puff Training and Leadership by William Micklem'

No, it is NOT acceptable. These training methods are as much about manipulating the horse psychologically as physically - in fact more so. The fixed, forced (these horses are not adopting these positions voluntarily) positions impede movement…

Jo commented on William Micklem's blog post 'Best of William Micklem - 9 - LOVE IS THE ANSWER'

I LOVE THIS BLOG!. I know it sounds corny but I have the scales of training handwritten pinned to my kitchen wall - I added my own quite a while ago - "First of all, love your horse" and adorned it with hearts and arrows! I do love my…

Hi Jo, Snow here today (but in a good way a dusting that looks pretty!). Like you I simply cannot sell any horses either I keep making up excuses that justify why it is not a good tim to sell!! Went to the Irish Thoroughbred Breeders Expo at Goffs…

Hi Denise - love your new blog (blog - is that correct?) IN Praise of the noble steed. I will keep in touch - you're right, we can be breeding geeks together. I need therapy to persuade me to bridge the mental gap to actually accept that I…

There is no secret so close as that between a horse and his rider This says so much - in just a few words it encompasses, perhaps, a lifetime together.

A Smooth Little Horse Colt Should Move a Man as Much as does a Son. Anonymous - but isn't it lovely?

Jo commented on Wiola Grabowska's blog post 'Freelance Coaching vs Severe Wheather...Winter Worries.'

Kensington? horses? how? Hope to hear from you soon! Jo xx (I know of Pythagoras - very important in Trakehner breed - the Russian branch is a very valuable "outcross". I have a 5yo filly, by Axis, whose damline is a rare Russian…

Chin up Wiola - typing this with frozen fingers and blocks of ice for feet - oil ran out - no Aga! Spring is just around corner. Early February it gets dark at 5.30pm Hurrah!!! I know cos my birthday is 4th February and once came out of office at…

Jo commented on William Micklem's blog post 'Best of William Micklem - 7 - RIDE LIKE AN INTERNATIONAL RIDER - TODAY'

The changing diagonal whilst "out" of the saddle, rather than "in" - you recommended it in a previous blog - is a revelation and gives, if not instant results, instant insights and self-awareness. I think the horses appreciate a…

good morning from the USA to UK Jo. Thanks for your comment. I cannot scan photos, I just plugged in my camera, and poof, they appear! I own five of the six horses on my site, not the young gray gelding in for training. But the big gray mare, CAli,…

Hello Martha - I love your photos and your riding! Am complete computer-phobe re photo scanning - but will try to up-date. Looking forward to learning more about your horses. Jo

Hi Jo, thanks for getting in touch. Abdullah is the sire of a stallion I used called Chillout who is the only son standing in Europe I think. I will put up a pic of Chillout I am between two computers at the moment so stuff is everywhere. The bay in…

Jo commented on William Micklem's blog post 'Best of William Micklem - 6 - THE YOUNG WILL JUDGE THE OLD'

Fascinating - even today, there seems to be the impression that if you are not suffering, you are not improving. Riding without stirrups is, in many cases, beneficial but, as you say, William, if you are gripping to maintain balance, much of the…

Like you I simply cannot sell any horses either I keep making up excuses that justify why it is not a good tim to sell!! Went to the Irish Thoroughbred Breeders Expo at Goffs on Friday. We have loads of interesting info and it was a great day out. Some interesting seminars and plenty of tack and equipment to drool at. just started the sayings thing in a rare idle moment but it would be great to hear different sayings from around the world. How are you doing? Let me know about your horses. Catch you later

I own five of the six horses on my site, not the young gray gelding in for training. But the big gray mare, CAli, is pregnant, bred to a young Dutch Stallion, Ampere, so that counts as a bit of an extra horse! They are a mixed bag, not one like the other, I guess that is why they are such good teachers. Each offers me different challenges. Have a great day. Martha

I will put up a pic of Chillout I am between two computers at the moment so stuff is everywhere. The bay in the field is Galoubet the famous french horse and the bay foal in the field is Summer his granddaughter so I have high hopes for her! Her sire is Castlelawn Galloway a Galoubet son and he is shown showjumping in one picture and his dad in another. I love to have a pictorial family tree of foals I have bred (because I am a horse geek) but it is also great to show people if you are selling (not that I often do). Stay in touch and we can be breeding horse geeks together

that foal, acorn, sounds like a really cute little guy! I love foals. do they belong to you?
My fiend at the barn just sort of told me about barnmice, so i didn't get it from that blog... but it sounds interesting. This was also my first internet group, but everyone here seems really nice... and we're all horse people! :)
Have a good day! -Leah
