On Saturday morning, mom and I drove up to Cedarburg, WI for the Mark Rashid clinic. It was pretty incredible and it opened up so many new insights into my horsemanship. Here are some of the big points:
Release the pressure when the horse releases his brace
Define your space
Sometimes the slightest changes can create the biggest differences
Every time you create a brace in your body, the horse has to compensate for that by bracing something in his body.
Overall, it was an incredible clinic and it was amazing to see Mark in person. Most of these things I've read in his many books, but it was super neat to hear it.
Mark is an incredible horseman and it makes me so excited to audit more clinics like Mark Rashid's.
If Mark is coming to an area near you, GO AND SEE HIM! Trust me, you'll learn a lot!!

It was great to see you there - and thanks for the picture of Dawn!
It was great to meet you too!
You are very welcome. I have a bunch of other ones too, if you would like me to email them to you, I would be happy to!
I would love it if you could e-mail them - may I put them up on my blog with credit to you? My e-mail address is ayearwithhorses@me.com. Thanks!
Sure thing! I'll send them to you now! :-) I got quite a few good pictures and really learned a lot from watching your two lessons with Mark. It really gave me a lot to think about and it's already helped my riding with Eddie!
