Thanks

This is a great module, so if you haven't watched it all, do! Thank you, Shane, for making this available to everyone!

Looks great Fiona! Have fun at your QSports day!

Well done, Elise! I saw your pictures on fb - looked and sounds like a lot of fun! A great example of how the programme sets us up well for anything we want to do.

Yes, let's! We'd better get practising! Good luck everyone on their way to the Sunshine Coast!

Thanks Tracy

I love the idea of one that can follow me around the arena but I have yet to find one without an extra 0 on then end of that price! I'll keep looking

Wow Jack! That's such a beautiful post! How fabulous that you and your family are already feeling the benefits of being part of the programme and loving your new life. And this is just the start! Welcome to QS and the wonderful journey that comes with it!

I look forward to watching that. Meanwhile, it sounds like it is all falling into place. Now you know you can do the leading by the nose and FQ yields it's just a matter of it all coming together on the same day. The rope swinging reaction was probably nothing to do with the rope swinging at all if it's usually ok. Did you do / feel / believe something different with the leading from the nose that you can repeat again next time?

Great idea, Clare! Oh the things we try to get our assignments in!! Tracy has a new gadget with a remote so that you can control it from your horse. Could you post a link here please, Tracy? To fit our whole arena in I need to fix my camera somewhere I can't get to with my horse so it'd be great to be able to set it up beforehand and then just click to start when I'm ready. Cheers!

How are you going with this, Helen? Are you finding it any easier?

Tracy, you are doing really well with him He's in a new environment in a new place so it's normal for him to see how worthy you are as a leader. His safety is at stake! If you are worried about making mistakes, it will mess up your energy and he will feel that. If he makes you nervous, he'll sense that and then you'll be sending out mixed messages which will make him nervous too and then you're in a downward spiral. So yes, stop worrying about messing up, lighten up and have some fun. Reward the try, as Shane says. Really reward the try - in your heart! It makes a huge difference!! That's what Luna reckons anyway!

That'd be great if we can find a way to fit it in. Otherwise, I think Carola is hoping to arrange something with Ricky.

These look really interesting. Wish I were closer!

That's great news Simone! How lucky you all are! There are a few of us over here in the UK that would leap at the chance of a QS saddle if we were a bit closer!
