It is a bit late – but we have now systematised the process! What a job! Looks like the Winter one won’t be far away. Kate writes a lovely long Newsletter every season, four times per year. Here is the Autumn 2009 newsletter. You can subscribe to it & get it by email, see the link at the end of the newsletter.
There is an interesting story by Babs and a position vacant for an office person! Lots more.
Hi Everyone
Here at Mt Lyford Horse Riding we not only have talented horses and guides but we have this little very clever dog called Winnie MacDonald Spoodle. We see her in this video lunging a bucket and going crazy. Take a look. It is so funny!!! Come and meet her at Otahuna and Mt Lyford when Kate is around.
Bye Kate and Winnie
Kate’s made another video!
Kate made a great video today. The starring cast is the Mt. Lyford herd. All on a simple digital camera. it took her about 10 minutes. I spent a few hours extracting some really bad noisy audio. All a bit rough but here it is!
It shows, and Kate explains… Leadership, body energy, focus
and more…
Have a look here, after all this time we now have a guides page at Otahuna
This is my favourite picture of Abi. It says it all. You will see here that Abi is riding her horse, Bash, with one rein. Ken Faulkner said it will improve our riding, so we all did this for 6 months or so, and he was right of course. Just look at the ease of these two. You too can have that with your horse. Abi will show you how.
Abi is a totally committed horsewoman and our instructor for saddle club and Natural Horsemanship Club. Abi writes about herself:
Hi. My name is Abi. I have been working with Kate and the team (people and horses) since October 2004-and I love it!
I have ridden for 22 years mostly in the traditional way, and since 2003 I have discovered Natural Horsemanship. I would now never go back to traditional ways and wish I had learned the natural way earlier. I find it both very relaxing and freeing for both me and the horses. I understand my horses so much more and can do heaps more with them.
I look forward to meeting you when you come riding and teaching you all I know.
