A year ago Jayden went to a Cody Keller horsemanship clinic and really enjoyed it. She has stayed in contact with the clinician and asked him questions over the year. She has been anxious to attend another one of his clinics. She signed up for a 4 day clinic, but could only go for 2 of the days due to her graduation. She was sad to miss out on the whole time, but happy to get to go. She had two horses she wanted to take with loads of questions to ask. She took her young horse Summer just turned 3 and her big bay gelding who just turned 5. She took the big Bloomer all by herself and drove down to Osceola and stayed for the clinic. When you really think about all that entails, it is dedication. She packs the trailer with all she needs for herself and horses, hay, feed, buckets, tack. She loads two horses and hauls over 2 hours to a place she has never been. She has to back and turn into a tight area in the driveway and set up her trailer for the night. She unloads horses, tacks up, rides all day and stays for two full days before heading back home. All of this on her own. Here she was a young 18 year old at a clinic with a group of much older trail riders and horse men and women. She had no idea what to expect and was rather surprised. She told of one lady that hadn't ridden a horse in a couple years and was so short and round, they couldn't get her on her horse without having to climb her up a fence. I cannot imagine showing up at a clinic and not have been on your horse in years! I am sure they were quite impressed with her. She came home with many stories and said her young horses were already some of the most well behaved. The other horses spooked at flags that her horses didn't really flinch at. She could do a lot of the advanced riding, spinning, side passing, flexing , etc. She learned so much at the clinic and had a good experience. The clinician puts on clinics among his organized chaos. That kind of thing drives me crazy, but doesn't bother Jayden at all. In the end she came home with more horse knowledge and saw big improvements and will keep making progress.
