The Aftermath....




Well. I give one last cough and sneeze in the settling dust of the whirlwind Mane Event weekend now behind me and give pause to reflect upon it all..........

First and foremost, I would love to Thank some very special ladies for their help above and beyond.....
Joan, Erin and Becca. Becca and Erin have been constants in my life since working with me as very capable apprentices and it seems I have yet to scare them off, and they still amaze me with their dedication...:) And Joan, Erin's mom has been a source of support and friendship that is deeply appreciated as well. Joan and Erin for all the elbow grease setting up and tearing down, astute decorating tips, food, breaks and dog walking! Becca for the astonishing Scrapbook she pulled together with all those heartfelt and moving testimonials for clients as well as feedback and spring boarding ideas with me. Thank You Girls! Also EC for being such a tolerant pack horse at the end, and being gracious with a tired cowgirl... and of course, Jeanne and girls....for keeping me from sleeping on the sawdust of my trailer by going the extra mile and lending me the grand ole Kustom Koach! :)Without you guys, this whole, impromptu shenanigan would have been sooooooo much more challenging and the belief you have in me is humbling......

Next
I would like to say it was an absolute blast!
Seeing old friends, new friends and meeting so many great new folks was just fabulous! This was a big stretch emotionally for me, putting myself out there so much and being proud of what I do, and seeing such positive feedback made it all ok. I have a saying that I like to stick with and it is " Do something everyday that scares you" and boy, this sure did! It was very last minute and require alot of focus and timing, confidence and belief, and I know the person I was five years ago would never have done it which I find somewhat astounding.....hmmmmm belief in your dreams.........

For all of you who stopped and said Hello, chatted and expressed interest in Training or Camps, and swapped tales with me....I sure do appreciate the time you took and your consideration. I love what I do, and am blessed to share it with interested folks like yourselves. I am passionate about 'Do less, Feel more and be conscious' I love everything around Feel an
d bridle horse development. As some of you know, I suddenly become Chatty Cathy about these topics...hahahaha!

So on that happy note, I am
leaving you with this great picture of the infinitely patient dogs, who deserve every bite of the extra big welcome home supper they got!

What a team! What a weekend! What a great, great bunch of people we are, us Horse People! What a Life! :)
