I'm simply writing to let you know I'm back - back in (Pescadero) town that is and thought you ought to know.

From what I've heard you'll either want to lock up your horses or get them out and ride 'em... I'm not sure which.

But let it be known - I'm back and back up to the same basic stuff at the farm in Pescadero as I used to be - but with a bit more experience now - training horses that is.

We've had a fine relationship in the past where I'd enjoyed working with you and your horses to try to achieve certain goals. Well, I'm available again if you could use my help. Give me a call, drop me a note or stop by - I will be working on the farm non-stop for a while to bring it back to life after a couple years of atrophy... There is lot's of fence to mend... and there is room now for a few more good horses/clients - especially for each of you.

And - please - if you hear of someone else looking to improve their horsemanship skills or fine tuning their riding, please let them know I am here and am looking for a few good horses to work for...

I'm truly hoping this finds you and yours in a terrific place!
It sure is beautiful here in Pescadero - It's nice to be home!

All the best,
Kelly

Something is kinda wrong with this picture...

Img_3285
and something's are kinda right at the same time.Sure we are showing horses in February in the desert but come on this is not the real world...

What wonderful horses all around - great weather (a bit hot for my liking and where's the rain?) great people and scenery. Good food and warm desert walks... it is pretty nice showing horses in the desert in February in good ole California.

It's been lot's of fun!

Buckclinic
I went up to the Buck Brannaman clinic yesterday in Pasadena with Will SImpson. It was across from Flintridge which brought back some real memories. We had such a good time listening to his delivery and wisdom. Fun, funny and inspiring. Got a chance to meet and chat with the legend.  I got thank him on behalf of all the horses we have ridden.

There were a few things that really struck a chord for me - things I believed in already my whole life and was so glad to hear him say with an audience to hear. I truly appreciated everything he had to say about the horses. He really is doing a great job spreading a great philosophy - his approach to sharing with his attendees was awesome.

If you get a chance - go see it or better yet ride in it - it would do us all some good to focus on the basics of what he has to offer. To master them would be even better. Will said on the way home he was hopeful he could make a bridle horse one day that jumped the Grand Prix with a loose rein or no reins at all... let's hope so Will. That would be so cool to see you do it without picking up your reins.

I'd suggest if you haven't already seen the movie watch that too - and the book Ground Work: The First Impression - good investments...The movie is a bit Hollywood but still great.
