So having been lurking and reading on an off for a few months now, I figured it was about time I actually officially joined the forum -- and said hello.
My name is Amanda, and I'm one of Jo and Derek Clark's working students at Holistic Equitation. Before arriving I knew very little about IH and was somewhat disillusioned with riding/horse care, but I have learnt an amazing amount and to me, how much sense everything makes is just amazing.
Horsewise, I'm currently doing a lot of work with one of Jo and Derek's horses, Waffle (as some of you may have seen from Derek's recent post on my behalf). He had a lot of issues when he arrived including being scared of trailers, whips, men, ear shy, etc, but since being with us with Jo and Derek's help he (and I) have progressed in leaps and bounds.
Anyway, I rambled a little, but there we go... Hello!

Hello Jen,
The last time I spoke to Derek he was planning to call Kathy N and have a chat, I've not spoken to him about it since though -- so will be nicely annoying him for an update tomorrow. I really like what I've heard about Kathy N's yard though, so I'm hopeful.
It's still all pending on how long it takes me to get a job up there though mind, it maybe she doesn't have spaces left by the time I do - but, we shall see!

Hi Caroline, It really is a lovely place -- I love being here, the atmosphere, the people, the learning, it's all great -- unfortunately my bank doesn't love it as much, which is why I'm now having to look at moving on. =( (On that note... if anyone is considered applying to be a working student with Jo and Derek I'd highly recommend it! - www.holisticequitation.co.uk/opportunities.html)
