Just back from taking a clinic in Worcs, but stopped off en route for the Hand demo. Great evening, good to meet up with Ally and some other friends there and also to meet Potto at last!!
Rosie has done an amazing job with Harvey. When I was staying with Kelly for the psychology course, she was telling me about Harvey and deliberating as to whether to buy him. I think she will eventually have a bargain there! I was so thrilled with how quietly Rosie rode him- I have taught her a few times and she did me absolutely proud.
To see him standing and accepting applause like an old hand, and with Rosie riding him solo round the arena, eventually even to music, in walk trot and canter, with Copy and Pie just standing at the other end, brought a tear to the eye, knowing just what his fate would have been had Kelly and Rosie not stepped in!
I would love to see the face of the show trainer who brought this lovely young horse to such a level of violent reaction, when Kelly and Harvey beat him in a championship at HOYS!!!!! ;D

i went as a helper to Keysoe and had such a fab time! Got to meet some DG'ers and see the whole demo, as was on the merchandise stands. I would definitely go again to help, as it was so nice to meet Kelly and Monty and also the owners whose horses were used.
Big thanks to Treacletart who took me! Thanks also to June who provided a very nice sandwich and some laughs to keep me going...! Lovely to meet my fellow DG'ers xx ;D ;D

I went to The Hand demo. It was my first time at a Monty Demo but i can tell you it wont be my last. We were sat right next to the horse entrance by Martin Clunes. I can now see why it's called the brrrrrrrr tour.
I bought a dually halter for my rearing and at times hard to handle 2 1/2 year 12hh pony and couln't wait to get home and try it. I used it for the first time today . . . WOW . . . half an hour working with her and not once did she rear. Backing up and everything, no biting me, no invading my space. I'm a happy girl!
I just want to say a massive thank you to Monty and Kelly for the new found enthusiasm and confidence (oh and safety) the dually has given me!
