It was amazing.
I'm super glad too!!

Hi Jackie!! My friend Patti really got alot out of that thread about calming signals and she was quoting from a lady that said she had 35 years experience watching horse behavior and then I read it and said, that's her, my friend Jackie that I told you about that helps me!! I love that thread.... :) I wonder where my video is though...

Wow. Thank-you very much for saying that. I can't even begin to explain how bad this day was.
I hope your jumping goes amazing! Enjoy every moment.
Thanks again.

me two hope you ride soon

heyy!

Hi Jackie:

Thanks for the friend invite!! That was really nice of you. Again I cannot commend you enough for your strong conviction, courage, and dedication in riding your 4-legged pals. They are beautiful too. Was just running through the pics once again...as it has been awhile. With your permission I would like to download one or two to send to Grandma Teddy.....so she knows who she if friends with. You take care.....and I better get off this puter now!!! Been on here too long already!! *L* Trying to make up a slideshow for my 16 year old grandson ---with pics of him doing his extreme biking!! He absolutely loves it!! Otherwise haven't been on here for a day or so. Just wish they didn't live so far away!!! You have a great weekend!! I better get to some housework tomorrow..my best friend from ThunderBay is coming down for a wedding so we hope to get togethr on Sunday!!

Thanks for the advice Jackie. im greatful to have you as a friend. i just dont believe my mom who has trained horses and knows how long it can take would take him away. this is the second time that a horse was taken from me. hopefully things will get better for me.

Thank you !
During the winter I work in Bariloche, the mountains are beautiful, however I prefer San Martin de los Andes, probably because the mountains are smaller, there are large farms and great opportunities to ride.
Hope you can come back some day!

Have just read your profile and think you are amazing!I have been wingeing on about how stiff I am since having a year off(arthritis at 65)but so pleased to hear you are still riding and enjoying.Still no luck with the mare's foot but in every other respect she is perfect so far,mind you it is early days.

Lol! I think he got over his homesickness the moment he realized that I always carry treats in my right hand pocket!! :)

thank you for the tips!!:)

Hi Jackie! I received an email from Barnmice and it prompted me to stick my nose into a few forums! I do love to teach and hope that people don't take my advice in the wrong way. My aim is to help people understand horses more and treat them like the sensitive and magical creatures that they are. Also, there's more to classical horsemanship than most people realize...it's for everyone, whatever discipline they enjoy!

You know, I bought an ice vest from Dover....Cool Medics is the manufacturer. I feel kind of clammy when wearing it but I guess it's better to be clammy and cool than hot and sweaty! I thank you for telling me about them!

How are you doing?

Thanks Jackie! I'm having a horse vetted and I'll hear back on Monday. Fingers crossed!

Really? You impressed? That is saying something.. thank you!!

Hey Jackie.... thanks for the comments.... when my trainer said a few things to me like, he knows you don't trust him and you don't have a rhythm.... right at that time my girlfriend told me about getting the feel of the horse.... my time on the ground with Oliver doing relationship work makes me totally agree with you.... I think I can "think forward" and he will at least walk now.... he would nibble on my jeans more than actually bite at me... he's more curious and nervous I think than anything... he sure didn't want to go anywhere when I sat on him, lol.... can't wait to jump on again and see how we do with out new relationship... !!

Good evening, Jackie!
Many thanks for your friend request, which I am very happy to confirm. I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but I had a very heavy-going weekend last week - including a round trip of well over 500 miles - which, in an old and slow Land Rover on English backroads, is no joke! Most of this week, when not at work, I spent catching up on my sleep.
But it went well. I was at a historical re-enactment event in Suffolk, with my unit, Battery 'B', 2d US Artillery, which was raising funds for a charity which helps injured ex-servicemen and women - Help for Heroes. We were taking part in a cannonade by the largest line-up of black powder cannon in England since Queen Victoria was on the throne - 23 in all - and ranging from the early Tudor period through to the American Civil War. The organisers told us later that the full volleys could be heard from 8 miles away!
And a tough riding lesson this morning - working on controlling the energy in a trot by using my weight, rather than legging on. I think those inner thigh muscles will be creaking a bit in the morning!
Hope you are well, and that the weather has cooled down a bit by now for you. Here it is now about 60F, with frequent heavy showers - but it could be worse. In the recent past, Buxton has had snowfalls in July and August! And blazing sunshine in December . . .
With best wishes,
Jack
