Lessons from the Master: The GM Training Sessions

Hi folks.  I hope this finds you well and enjoying your time with your two legged and four legged friends.  This past weekend was lovely for me in that respect, as Noah and I had a lovely trail ride together on Saturday and then a nice hack on Sunday, as well as some quality time with the ponies, watching them play out in the snow in their paddock.

The weekend was also a bonus as I had some extra time to watch the George H. Morris Horsemanship Training Sessions.  What can I say, other than I'm an addict.  Honestly, I know the man has reputation for brusqueness, but I can't find it in me to get upset about it.  He's a stickler for safety and attention to detail, and quite frankly,  it seems (to me at least) that he only blasts people who are not giving 100% effort.  I mean, I watched the sessions 2 years ago when he let loose with a few rather pointed non-PC zingers, and quite frankly, I was feeling the same frustration with the same people.  That being said, I think I'd be way too lily livered to ever ride with the man! LOL

I did some write-ups on a couple of the sessions for Horse Junkies United.  I'm sorry to make you do the extra work, but if you are interested in reading them, here you go:

One of my blogging buddies, Supreme Eq Princess and fellow Sister of the Riding Socks, Sarah Baldridge Omaits posted this review of the Day Four No-Stirrup torture session:

I hope you enjoy!  I'll let you know if/when I get a chance to post a review of Day Five.

As always, thanks for reading!
