So well that I'm already planning the next one!<br /><br />I do have quite a bit of spare time at the moment so I could always come down to yours for a day and teach you some basic vaulting if you'd like - I'll email you properly about it.<br /><br />Kate looks fantastic - I always have a soft spot for a pretty coloured... And don't worry about spending too much, nothing is too much if it's for the right one!<br /><br />RxRosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289004643269509104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900946978220300525.post-78513711299934678292009-10-19T21:52:28.966+01:002009-10-19T21:52:28.966+01:00Peter LOVED his poster! Thank you SO much!!!
I...Peter LOVED his poster! Thank you SO much!!!<br /><br />I've got a bet running with my farrier, who shoes for Steve Dent's team, that I can't clicker train Bella to lie down completely voluntarily before he next comes. He was saying how fantastic the Spanish Walk was in the 30 Spanish horses they brought over for filming Robin Hood, so I showed him Bella's at liberty just mirroring me without a whip in sight, then her full floor bow at liberty. He wouldn't put money on my not being able to train her to lie down in the time scale after that!!!!<br /><br />Good luck with your clinic and hope the sun shines for you. I still want to learn how to vault on while running alongside at a trot and canter. Wish you were closer but maybe one day I'll find the time!!!!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636162286931270812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900946978220300525.post-81904448254825861742009-10-19T19:45:07.872+01:002009-10-19T19:45:07.872+01:00Hi Helen,

I could do the standing with just my roller but I'm not sure I'd feel so safe, especially when Cuthbert was going so fast!<br /><br />I've seen your videos of Bella's sliding stops - she certainly knows her stuff and looks like she enjoys it too!<br /><br />In final preparation mode for the clinic on Saturday, I've planned everything as much as I can - I just need the sun to shine!<br /><br />Glad you had a good day at the NEC, and well done for the driving!<br /><br />Rosie xRosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289004643269509104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900946978220300525.post-8992670243801329512009-10-16T06:47:34.347+01:002009-10-16T06:47:34.347+01:00Hello Rosie. Thank you SO much for taking the time...Hello Rosie. Thank you SO much for taking the time to meet me and bringing the lovely posters to the show. It was so good to meet you and so kind of you.<br /><br />Meeting you lit up my day and, I'm sure, everyone else's week at the show. If having your company annoyed anyone then there must be something wrong with them!!!<br /><br />I find it's easy to feel a little lonely and a bit lost in big, crowded places, so find it very reassuring to be around people I admire. I think most people feel like that and everyone must admire you. Not many people combine beauty, grace and talent with modesty and a kind, sweet nature.<br /><br />The Devil's Horsemen were the best thing there as far as I was concerned and you were amazing!!! How did you manage to pull up without falling off on the other side of the entrance to the hall, you were going so fast?<br /><br />I have taught my Dales to do sliding stops on cue without reins, so that could prove to be a bit of a mistake if I ever get as far as cantering standing on their backs! I have to brace myself when I'm sitting in the saddle!!!!<br /><br />Thank you so much again and good luck with the clinics.<br /><br />Love from HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636162286931270812noreply@blogger.com
