I get a free auditor's pass for my "groom" at the GM clinic. I will be there Weds and Thurs, doing the 3' section, starting at 11. MayaTy02 is "grooming" for me on Weds, but I don't have anyone on Thurs to use it. You can stay for the 3'6" section starting at 2:30 as well. Let me know! You would have to be at Beverly Equestrian around 10:15 am to park, pick up your pass and get seated. |

I'm totally tempted to blow off work Thurs. and take you up on this! Hmmm... not sure if I can swing it or not but will see how things go at the office tomorrow, if nobody else claims it by then. That's so nice of you to offer! Which horse are you taking? |

I am planning to take Quest -- as long as he doesn't loose a shoe, get kicked, etc. between now and then. If so, I'll substitute in the new horse, Sam, or Warlock. Quest is pretty auto, so I would prefer him -- I think we would "present" better.

I audited George last weekend. He's in rare form, but was fighting a cold and looks very thin to me. His riding skills, however, have not suffered.... I hope, for your sake D, that he's over the cold. The coughing (into the mic ) and crackly, raspy voice made him a bit more difficult to understand. I would love to ride with him again at some point; to complete three days with GM is something to be very proud of. I'm certain you'll do really well... |

I just got back from day 1, and it was a great experience. He does look very thin, but I didn't have too hard a time understanding him, so maybe he's over his cold? He was every bit as tough as I expected, but also very complimentary of Bonny, so I was thrilled. I really felt like I learned a lot & hope I get to take another clinic with him in the future. Bonny was very good (though we made a ton of mistakes). Betsee Parker was in the audience, and George kept telling her that she needed to own Bonny. She's not for sale, but that was a tremendous compliment and I am still on cloud 9. |

Wow, BGTB, that's great! And impressive that you're riding with GM just a few months after having the babies... you go, girl! Unfortunately there is no way I can bail on work on Thurs., I have two deals closing and I have to be there. So no auditing for me. I had thought about signing up to audit when I first heard about it but I already had scheduled a few vacation days to take care of horse stuff (vet, farrier, chiro) in the next few weeks and this is our busiest time of year at work. Bummer. I can't wait to hear more reports, it looks like Witchy's wee one is riding in it tomorrow and GHH did today, so I expect lots of stories and pics. Have fun, everyone! |

Trust me - it wasn't pretty!!! It took me about 4 tries to make it through the first exercise, I got called a bleeting sheep, and he chased me over the Liverpool with a lunge whip!!! We did, however, have nice flatwork and jumped through an in and out very well several times. It's only about the 5th or 6th time I have cantered jumps on Bonny, and I still have a lot to learn about riding such an athletic horse! |

Wow, congrats to you both. Can we get a detailed update, or do people sign a 'non-disclosuer' (you know what I mean) when they clinic with 'the great one'? |
