Ace and I spent this weekend at Carol's farm along with 15-25 other people with their horses working on our ground work and riding skills. Carol did a demonstration with Mac that encompassed all the 7 games and Steve did a clinic on teaching your horse how to deal with pressure. They both did an awesome job. Things got a little tense when the wind caught the 5' ball and it bounced at the horses. We caught it and put the ball on a tether until it was time to work with it. The horses didn't take long to figure out that they could push it around and play with it. When Steve came walking out of his camper with a tube around D J's neck wearing his swimming trunks, we all followed suit and headed for the pond. Swimming with the horses is so much fun. Carol even was able to cajole Nadine's arab into the water. Leslie came on Sunday with 3 trailer loads of horses and kids. I was so impressed with those young people. They have been working with Leslie and their skills in handling and riding their horses was very impressive. They also played with their horses and swam in the afternoon. Thank you Carol for a very enjoyable and informative weekend.........Jane
