mid winter update

The weather is cold. We've had some cracking frosts. So much so, that the frost didn't just sit on the grass, but was high up in the trees! Looked beautiful when the sun came up.

We've also had some wet and windy weather, so with work and uni that didn't leave too many days for riding and working horses.

In May, just before the weather turned bad, we had a clinic here at Narrawin with Trisha Wren from NZ. The Connected Riding clinic went for three days (Yvonne's clinic report here and pictures from the clinic here). On the following day I managed to squeeze in a private lesson with Trisha before I had to dash off to work. The clinic was excellent. Trisha not only knows her stuff, but she is an excellent teacher and a lovely person. Add to that a great group of participants, and yeah, we had a great weekend.

On other news, congratulations to Jenny Jones from Sydney on purchasing Bluey. We first met Jenny and her husband Gareth about a year ago. They got hooked on Pasos, and Jenny fell in love with Bluey. Since then, they have acquired another Narrawin bred horse, Dacio NS.

Here is a short video clip from one of the clinic sessions. Riders are Paula from Singapore on Samba (Paso Fino), Jenny on Bluey (Paso Creole) and yours truly on Carlotta (Paso Creole).
