John Lassetter Clinic


Everyone had some great rides with John. Peter and Jessica were the bravest by having lunge lessons. These focused seat lessons imporved their seats by the end of the lesson. The gallery watching the lessons were stretching their arms high, rotating one forward and the other backwards. Jessica sais she really likes the lunge lessons as they focus on her seat where the other lesson focus on training the horse.
I rode Freederic the first 2 lessons. Whew I had to stop frequently for air. I had not ridden Freederic in a long while. He is such a trooper. Kalae was awesome as usual. We were able to work past a sticky point and proceed. Linda and Bailey did well. Marilee rode 3 different horses and was very pleased. Belinda and Bella also did remarkably well.
All in all a fun week with friends and horses.

Sunset Ride



The autum sun is setting sooner every day. Our 5:15 pm departure gave us a beautiful sunset ride. 2 Hawaiian owls or Pueo's (pu-EH-oh)were soaring and diving among the old pineapple fields. The wind was nippy and the horses walking fast. A great hour in the saddle! As you can see Dolly got to tag along for the exercise
