Location: west of East Texas | Me! Me! Me! And my 11yo daughter and my 16yo daughter is signed up but just told me she doesn't think she can get off work Saturday. Ugh! Teenagers! I feel kind of sorry for Andy, I'm riding the 5yo reining reject I just bought that is totallly ignorant of the barrel pattern. Heck, she's kind of ignorant of reining too!
Who is staying onsite?

His name is Andy Cowan. He lives on the East Coast. He is a barrel trainer with an extensive background in English/Dressage which he rolls over into your horsemanship. Great man. Love him.

We are here. We are having fun. We were on a horse all day. WrapSnap told us all up front that he wouldn't yell at us and hurt our feelings. Unless we needed it. :))))) I guess we are all behaving because the teacher hasn't rapped any knuckles with the ruler yet. I'm ready for tomorrow! |

I had a wonderful time even though I didn't ride and spent part of the weekend on doing training modules on the computer for work.
Thank you Andy and Stacy for the effort.

I was sick, had a flat, had to buy a new hitch, had loaned out my trailer and my mare decided she was not getting my newly purchased very old tiny two horse. Probably better for the attendees that I stayed home. Next time. |

Thanks. Cole was struggling to wait his turn. I know I learned a lot by listening, but even Cole picked up some things. After the first day while we were eating dinner I asked him what he learned. He said,"I have to keep my horse moving the whole time around the barrel." So Andy can even teach something to a super, active 6yo.

| I want to thank KMC for inviting me and Sassy for putting on a wonderful clinic. I made huge strides with my filly this weekend. I progressed from not being to get on my filly without tons of warm up and anxiety on both our parts to her cocking a leg and sleeping. Sunday I climbed on her with no warm up and rode her to the arena. It doesn't sound very exciting but it is to me. The icing on the cake was her loping two nice patterns and really wrapping a barrel. We were barely trotting a pattern a week ago. WrapSnap is a wonderful teacher, he will challenge you to improve without intimidation and he knows his stuff. I cannot wait to work with him again. Thank you for a great weekend. |

Location: MD | I was very happy with the clinic! I felt like we were able to make huge strides with many horses and riders. I loved having the kids there. Cole taught us all a lesson very early on Saturday morning. Always have confidence in yourself, no matter where you might feel that your abilities may lie at the moment. I want to thank each and every person who was there for making this such a wonderful experience and especially Sassy&Tessa for putting this whole thing together and her husband Dave for filming the entire thing and a BIG shout out to Miss Allison for the great food and most importantly, the endless supply of coffee! It always makes my job easy when I have a fun, enthusiastic and positive group of ihorses and riders to work with and I sure had that! |

| Thanks to everyone involved with the clinic!!! Andy you are a good teacher and a talented horseman. Stacey thank you for doing this and all the extra TLC you gave your poor refugees. Ann the food was wonderful and the people that owned the ranch were so kind to us. I enjoyed seeing new faces and old from the rodeo days. Everyone really did improve, even my challenged mare. Now for the rest of the story- After two dead transmission challenged trucks and being stranded, the cavalry (my poor husband) brought the two horse and rescued us. We got home safe at 11:30 last night. Camie's first away from home was not so hot though she loved Andy and he built her confidence. Now need to float my big trailer home somehow. Anyone got a BIG balloon that will lift it and fly 7 hours? Also thanks for attending our sunny church service about the SON. Jan |

I am not doing anything this weekend so if you want me to hook up and haul and meet you or whatever you let me know how I can help, ok?
