I have used "Rescue Remedy" occasionally for my shaken confidence. It is all natural, no side effects, and can be found in most drug stores. I find it takes the 'edge' off and I am not 'looking for the spooky thing'.

Hi, Becky:
My experiences with treeless saddles is pretty much that when you most need to depend on them they don't do the job. They slide around and aren't very stable, and if you've tried wearing shoes that fit like that you know how irritating...
Becky I forgot to mention that Jochen was invited and now has a blog on this website. Best Wishes!
With some treeless saddles you have to be careful when you mount as it will not support your weight. Other times the conformation of your horse will affect the stability of your treeless saddle. Treeless saddles do best with a horse with a decent ...
I am 41 year old amateur dressage rider and family physician. I have ridden many different horses in different saddles over the years. In the effort to help my 12 year old not "forward thinking" hanoverian I bought and rode in a treeless saddle la...
I am seriously considering purchasing a treeless saddle and would like to hear from others on their views and experiences regarding them. I have heard that some styles/makes slip easily (especially if the horse spooks), some have more security for...

Cheryl said… - Hello again Becky, you asked me to let you know if there was going to be any more clinics...we did contract a 2 Star Parelli instructor to come live at the ranch for the summer. She will be here from the end of June until September. She will be available for those 3 months here in Princeton. We would love to have you and your horse as our guest, if you are so inclined. If you like you can check out ranch photos on my profile. Always enjoy meeting like minded horsepeople. If this fits into your schedule and you would like to further your communications skills with your horse, please let us know and we can certainly set some time up for you. After 40 years with horses, I can truly say that I am learning more now than ever before, and it is making a great impression on my horse. Nice chatting with you.

- Hi again Becky, just for your info, we are in the midst of arranging for a 2 Star Parelli instructor to stay at our ranch from the end of June until sometime in September. I will keep you posted in case you are in a position to take advantage of this opportunity. I certainly don't want to bother you with this unless you are interested. I just noticed that you commented you would like to take more natural horsemanship clinics and were willing to travel. This facility is unbelievable!!! I have been working with horses all my life and rarely see a place like this.
Regards,
Cheryl

We would love to have you as our guest! It is about a 3 hour drive from Vancouver to the ranch. Let us know if you are interested as there are only 8 available spots.

Your horse looks lovely too, nice bone and a sweet face.

- Hi Becky, just saw your comment under Parelli horsemanship. Since you are so close to Princeton, I thought you may be interested in attending a clinic at the ranch (please see my comment). Anyways, I will update in the near future as to dates/costs etc. The facility is unbelievable. Really nice setup for horses and humans...
I am also in my mid-late 40's but have been with horses all my life and there is still so much to learn. But what fun!!!
Happy Spring.
