Gord, Mark, Sherri, and I all had a terrific weekend attending the 2011 Mane Event Expo in Red Deer. Sherri is still a Newbie so it was great fun to experience the Expo through her eyes. We were also happy to celebrate Sherri's b-day with her today.
It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces in attendance; all of you very inspired by the talented presenters and clinicians. Kade Mills won the trainers challenge and in our opinion, it was a well deserved win. Kade has a lovely way with horses that we all appreciated and admired. Watching the challenge also gave me a few tips that will undoubtedly help me with Dexter's training.
Stacy Westfall was a crowd favourite and for good reason. Stacy's unforgettable bareback, bridless ride was truly breathtaking. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend googling Stacy's ride on You Tube - truly a tremendous diplay of harmony between horse and rider. Every horse owner should aspire to be in such glorious harmony with their horse.
Jonathan Field, what can I say, he is truly a gifted horseman and teacher and packed the stands with every one of his demonstrations. What I like most about Jonathan is the pure joy he exudes as he plays with his horses.
The timing of the Mane Event couldn't be better. With the onset of spring, we all came away with an excitement of getting out there and playing with our horses.
Happy spring (finally)!
Tovie, Gord , Sherri, and Mark
