Where Did Summer Go?

It is hard to believe September is already here. This past weekend a few of us ladies took our horses out to the Lazy M Ranch and participated in Lane Moore's natural horsemanship clinic. As every horse person knows, there are nearly as many training methods as there are horse people and not everyone will agree as to the best method. What I tell my students is that you will learn something from every teacher and it is up to you to decide what feels right for you and your horse. As long as basic manners and mutual respect are a priority, I believe there are different ways to achieve your training goals. Once again, Lane and his wife Margie were the ultimate hosts and we all came away feeling more knowledgeable about handling our horses. I also discovered that Lane will be demonstrating barefoot trimming at the Health, Harmony & Horses Conference at the Okotoks Agriplex. For more details about the Conference, including registration, please click on the title and it will take you to their web-site.

Wishing you a beautiful Indian Summer,
