Hi :)
I wanted to start a thread for my friend Jenny who did her 1st ever join up today with her horse Tommy who's an 8 yr old TB with zero ground manners!
With the help from Jo Hewitt from this forum she got an excellent join up and follow up, I was so proud of her for getting over the nerves I know she had and getting in there and doing a great job as I was Jo for keeping Jenny calm and instructing her through the process as she did with myself.
It was a great start on their journey together and I hope Jenny will join us here soon so when you do Jenny, WELL DONE!!!
The start of this story is in 'mostly untouched 4 yr old' so I won't retell it. Suffice to say I managed to reach through the glaze over Tommy was suffering. Today Jenny, who had lost a great deal of confidence in Tommy, achieved communication. It was a most imperfect Join up but Tommy waded through the mistakes & made it all ok. He clearly likes this change in his life. It is my intention to offer support & advice in order that confidence is gained by all parties, equine & human. Cheers, Jo.
Excellent news. Mary have a word with Kelly at the demo, I did mention your thread to her, hope you don't mind.
Wonderful Mary, pass on my congratulations to Jenny, an amazing progress
Thank you all and thank you Tiggy, very kind of you x
If you stay behind at the end, you get a better chance of a decent chat with both Kelly & Monty. Enjoy the demo.
Mary Apollo looks gorgeous in your profile pic, 1st time for ages that I've been on the forum on the laptop not the phone..
Thanks Tiggy :D he is beautiful if I do say so myself, lol! I love yours too, they're all our gorgeous babies ;)
That's Winter. We've just been to her 3rd party and had a 5th in a walk/trot test.
Excellent tiggy, I've been reading your progress well done to you both :)
Thanks Mary, not quite as impressive as yours with Apollo. Winters had a better start than your big man.
