Willow and Bobbi "work a cow" at the Bruce Laird Horsemanship Clinic last September.
The winner of the "Wyoming Riding Vacation Sweepstakes" is Dixie Lee West of Alabama, CONGRATULATIONS! Dixie was randomly drawn as the winner and has chosen her husband Chris as her riding partner for a Mustang Horse Adventure. There were well over 7600 entries in the sweepstakes, one of biggest that Horse & Rider Magazine and Equisearch.com has hosted ever. We sincerely thank each of the individuals who entered and although there can only be one winner, we invite you to book your horseback vacation with Blue Sky Sage for this summer anyway and join us in Wyoming!
The photo for this post is of Willow mare and I on the second day of our Bruce Laird horsemanship clinic in Torrington, Wyoming last September. Bruce had spent most of the first day on Willow himself getting her to work through a really hard mental block; when Bobbi got back on her for the second day, Willow was a "new girl", much more willing, more free to move and pay attention, and able to understand my sometimes less than clear requests of her without getting frustrated or anxious. Here we are "cutting" or "working a cow" on a neat little flag machine Bruce designed. What a hoot, and we could have played there a lot longer, but we had to give everyone else a turn too! I will definitely be going back to one of Bruce and Joan's clinics, would love to go to the colt starting / horsemanship weekend in May, but I don't have a colt right now, so may have to wait. The weather here at the ranch is almost to the point where we can get some saddle horses in and start getting them back into physical and mental shape for the upcoming ride season; as soon as the mud dries up it'll be back in the saddle!
