Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | FLITASTIC - 2016-01-14 7:15 PM At some point I would love to talk to her. I wonder if she has a couple helpers that can ride and train with her. And as mentioned above, keeping them all fed properly, vet care, teeth, and I can't imagine her farrier. Lol
I know she hired at least one girl to work for and help her full time. She has a great team behind her as far as family, owners and friends. |

Location: Wearing a winter coat...... | I have sat at a well known trainers place in Kentucky and watched her work over 30 head in a day....after she worked out in the am...before we went to breakfast......and ended with dinner at 9pm. Not just once either.....so I have to believe most of the woman in our sport are driven like this if they want to succeed . Now, I was tired just watching her and had to sleep in the next day! Good support is a must tho! |

Good support is a must tho! so she spent what amount of time per horse? 30 horses.....I guess I would assume the assistants warmed them up she hopped on for a few minutes then so on......but how can you really work one in that short of time .. the trainer..

Location: Wearing a winter coat...... | 30 minutes....give or take. She doesn't saddle or unsaddle. Still- wore me out!
Also- she didn't waste time- these colts all were worked to their ability- not over done or under but worked and I could watch the training work in front of me. It was pretty cool actually.... tiring but cool. Such a hand. |

Ed Wright always said if you want to be the best get yourself 15-20 head, ride them everyday and get them figured out and swap them for 15-20 new ones!  |

Only problem with that is, MOST people actually have to WORK real jobs and can't spend 2 months in AZ over winter or have time to ride and feed 15-20 head.lolol I would rather have 1 or 2 and be able to focus all my efforts there. |

I know! But if you told Ed that he'd just tell you if you wanted it bad enough you could do it! If I didn't have my kiddo I would totally move somewhere warm and do it. I could live off Ramen!! |
