It’s the start of the New Year and already my mind is focused on the 10-day Fundamentals clinic April 19-29. This will be a repeat for me because I am pretty sure you can’t get too good with the basics and I want to have a solid foundation before tackling the Intermediate level and, hopefully, eventually work my way up to become a Certified Clinician.
So who all will be there? I would love for us to get pre-introduced, network and share our plans. I am hauling from Northwest Arkansas and may have room for another horse in my trailer and/or would consider sharing gas expenses with someone else. I also might be able to provide an overnighter if anyone is coming through this area and needs a stop-over for horse and rider.
I have reserved a large suite at the Econolodge (near the Super 8 and most other hotels) which we shared with 4 of us gals back in November. It worked out great and was super-cheap once we divided it up between us. Send me a PM if you are interested in this affordable lodging option.
For those who have not attended a clinic at the ranch before, one thing I can suggest is to have yourself and your horse physically fit and ready for what will be two weeks of Heaven and H*ll that will demand a lot from you both. If you will really do your best to get as good as you can with the Fundamentals BEFORE you arrive, we all will be in a better position to take full advantage of the opportunity to polish and perfect our skills instead of just trying to get a start on the Method.
So are you coming? What horse are you bringing? This is gonna be fun (and A LOT of hard work!)
