Hi Geoffrey - we've had torrential rains here for the past few days, so not much has been accomplished. I'll definitely keep you posted though. I think the rain should be stopping in a couple days (fingers crossed). Thanks for asking!
I just took a look at your web site and I just got such great feelings about it. It looks like a really great place for body and soul of people and equines. Congratulations on making the world a better place!

Hi geoffrey, im failry new on here, but ive been reading some of your posts and they caught my eye! ive seen that you're from Australia, which may explain your knowledge of equitation science and the use of learning theory! I am aware of it through the study of psychology, written work of Andrew McLean and my time at university. Hope to see you around on here provoking thoughtful, and more importantly, education debate,
Ohhhh My Gosh!!!

Hi Geoff, It's been a while!
Gorgeous Canadian weather here - lots of hacking mixed in with our regular dressage work. Also, adding a few tiny fences into the mix. No higher than my knee!
P.S. It is the saddle Andrea used for the school she went to on Tori! the same saddle..
P.S.S. I would but if i want to come for a lesson as well....i dont have a double float....=(
hahaha no, i have a weird story about that 'swine flu'!!
did you know, that the asians have an animal to 'symbolise' each year, and the year of the bird flu, it was the year of the bird, the year of the horse there was the equine influenze, and this year its the year of the pig!! so thats something for us to all think about isnt it!! lol.
Yeah we're all pretty good down here, things are getting a bit stressful, but hey, you know how it is.
yeah ive got one lady that emailed me for her daughter, they sound really interested and they seem to be lovely people. her daughter is a tall 13 year old and shes lost heaps of confidence from bad falls, and they want a horse for her thats big enough, but one that she can go for trails and ride around on to get her confidence back, and then she wants to get into some lower level eventing and pony/riding club. SO yeah i think they sounds pretty good. They must be interested because they're going to come all the way down from One Tree Hill!
Oh is he? im sure he'll sell quick, hes a magnificent creature Lurch is (:
Yeah you told me when we talked on the phone last, thats insane.
The naughty fella.
By the way, i noticed you changed your website a bit. it looks heaps good! Adele and i like the part you wrote about Sadie, very sweet.

P.S. send my love to the family (:

I'm going to risk a pie in the face and say I love winter. It's 24 degrees today, the sky is clear, and I think it's going to really drop tonight. The only thing I need tonight is a comet, LOL, and it will be perfect!
I think sometimes that I get EVERYONE mad, LOL. I try to see both sides. I can get the 'pro's' AND the 'anti's' both mad at me, right with the same post, LOL!
But I am trying to see both sides, and think about both. I have a different way of lookin…
