Wow! What a weekend! We had quite a diverse range of students getting together on the Gold Coast, who all wanted to better their horsemanship skills - the main focus was on building confidence both in the saddle and on the ground and helping to build a better relationship with their horses. Everyone put in a huge effort, taking a good look at getting good hindquarter yields to soften their horses and putting their newly learned skills into action on the last day by getting out there and riding in the rain! Good on you guys- nothing will stop you now!
A huge thank you to Belinda Bass for organizing the weekend.
