I was also told by a good friend to avoid those with shows on RFD. To which I made the witty comment “RFD = Recipe For Disaster”.
I really havent gotten over the first horse trainer admitting she couldnt fix him! Astounding! Really! Who does that?! How fabulous for you that not only did you and Rocky get what he needed to progress… but your first trainer was honest. I say this without the slightest bit of irony. If my friends had horses of the type the first horse trainer could work with… I sure would be recommending that trainer. and telling her why. Not everyone has the tools for every job. Im so impressed that you both recognized Rocky wasnt being helped.~ and got him what he needed.
Agreed – and I do recommend her. She is a gem and we still have a good relationship. She asked me to please stay in touch because she wanted to know how things went. When I am ready, I will go back to her for lessons with my dressage horse, Elijah, just because I’d like to get a few more turns with my big guy while he is still able. (Hate knowing the clock is ticking on everyone!)
I know who the new trainer is, but if you ever told me who the wonderfully honest other was is/was, I have forgotten. Please PM me, thanks!
Sent you a PM.
