Hi All
Just a quick note to let you know that we are holding our first IH coffee morning at my yard in Thatcham, nr Newbury, Berkshire THIS SATURDAY 18th July 2009 at 11 am. I thought I'd put a note on here incase any of you are in the area and fancied joining us or have missed the other threads....
Light refreshments will be served and Tim Mockford has kindly agreed to give us a talk on Equine Podiatry - Plus Zoe Chipman will be there to answer any questions you may have on your horse...should be an awesome day!
If you would like to come along please PM me and I'll send you the details and directions!
Hope to see you there ;D ;D

Hi Jen
Is it OK if Monty and I call in to say hi to everyone? Probably about 11.30 to 12 ish? We don't want to disrupt anything but it would be fun to come and see you and offer our support or the great HCMs!

Just say THANK YOU Jenny and Jenny for a fabby day out 
It was a really good day out (I finally left at 5.30pm and I was by no means the last!), and great to catch up with faces I knew,and to meet some that I didn't 
It was also good to be able to chat to Kelly and Monty in a relaxed setting too ;D

Wow what a day yesterday was! I didn't actually see Kelly's post yesterday morning as I was busy preparing the coffee and biscuits and grooming the ponies for their visitors...little did I know that Monty and Kelly would be making a guest appearance! It was a wonderful and informative meeting and ended up lasting most of the day! Jenni Greenwood and I will definitely make it a regular thing and would be happy to hold it at Montwood Stables again. I know the ponies all enjoyed the fuss. I have to say it was an interesting mix of people - some of you lovely folk from the DG and some horsey people I have known locally for years - some with a basic understanding of IH and some with very little. I am doing my best to open their eyes to non-violent handing and training of horses and showing them 'the light'! ;D I think everyone was totally blown away by Monty's talk and want to thank him and Kelly for coming along as I think their presence changed a lot of people's opinions about IH being 'cliquee' or exclusive. I'm not sure what I'll be able to do to make the next meeting quite as impressive as yesterday's but I will try. Photo's will follow! If you are interested in coming along to the next meeting please PM me and I will add you to the mailing list Regards A very happy Jenny and Jigsaw |

What a great coffee morning! I must say I couldn't quite believe my eyes when Monty and Kelly got out of the car. Was great to meet everyone and put faces to DG names. Stick me down for the next one Jenny!

Thank You Jenny's for a great day. You did a great job of setting up your barn with food and drink for us all. I think your yard is the perfect setting for us all to get together. Can't wait until the next one. Thanks to Kelly and Monty joining us, what a treat ;D Natalie. x
