It was truly a pleasure to meet and work with you yesterday Friday. As you remember, really all I wanted was to have you watch me, give me some pointers that Christina and I could work on so I could become a better friend to my horses and give me a levels rating. Boy did I get a lot more than that.
I was really impressed that my being totally blind did not have any effect on you. From the very beginning you treated me as I believe you do any new student. You never assumed I could not perform any task you asked me to perform. When I did not understand something you instantly took my hands and demonstrated exactly what you were looking for me to do.
Kelly I have been blind all of my life and that is a very long time. Rairly, do I meet a person who does not have a predetermined agenda as to what I can't do simply because of my being blind. You observed and made your opinion on what you saw my ability to be and for that thank you.
Kelly I have loved the horse for almost all of my time and have only had professional training for maybe 3 years with Christina. Because of the natural mostly Parelli methods, I am doing more with the horse than I ever imagined and after the session with you I can hardly wait until we can have another session. I want to become the best that I can become and with Christina's and your help I will become a very good rider.
Stay safe in your travels. Best wishes for a healthy baby and please let me know when you are going to be in this area so that I can book other lessons.
Hopefully we will stay in touch as I believe you are a remarkable trainer.
Thanks for caring for horses as much as you do. They are a great animal.
