MHCO Driving Clinic Day 1

[Dream]

The first day of the clinic is behind us and I just wanted to post a couple of pictures. Hopefully others will post here after tomorrow's lessons.

I took Erick in for a longlining lesson.

Here are some pics of Erick. I have been driving him with the lines through the turrets but Jeff had me switch to running them through the tugs and wrapping the outside line around Erick's butt to help work on his bending. In these shots Jeff is holding the new set up while I hold the regular set up to get Erick used to it. We then removed the first set of lines and I took over.

Feedback has been great so far. Jeff is an excellent teacher with a genuine interest in the minis.

Thanks Leia! I love the polos on him too (my dressage backgorund coming out).

Kristin, the clinic was held at Jake Circle K Stable in Guelph. Day 2 was every bit as good as Day 1. Hopefully others who attended will post on here with what they thought. I'll see if I can get my hands on some more pics.

I agree! I agree!

Jeff was great & really takes a keen interest in the youth.
