Jeff,
On behalf of the Carriage and Driving Society of Greater Kansas City, I want to thank you for a wonderful weekend. Not only was it educational, it was inspiring to us that drive. You definitely have way in getting us hard headed people to understand how to make our horses better and for this, we cannot thank you enough.
Thank you for sharing you gift of teaching with us. ~ Judi Adams

Jeff--I did not expect an overnight miracle with Libby and we did not get one. However I got confirmation on the direction we have been going which we desperately needed. The PTS Syndrome is MOST likely the issue we have been fighting--we tried so hard not to make mistakes but we did AND with a hypersensitive mare. I will be sending photos and videos from everyones' lessons. I feel that I got many of my questions answered. Thank you. I have a lot of self-doubt and often feel inadequate but I felt very at ease with you which maximized my learning opportunity. Thank you also for that. i feel that I have found "direction" and now have a better "plan." The plan is to keeping working with Libby but also I need a different horse. Probably not a mare, probably not a Morgan because I am a bit hyper myself.

Jeff, I feel I came away with very specific things to work on such as hand position for holding reins, body posture, cues, harness fit, shaft length, what to look for in my mare's response, how much practice to be doing, etc.,etc. In other words I liked your approach as an educator. It was especially helpful to have you in the carriage to "show and tell" me what to be doing and then prompt me as I tried it. I have already ordered and received the elastic training side rein and am having some inital success using it as a training aid. I feel my 2 lessons were very beneficial, just wish I could have watched more of the other lessons and attended all 3 of the evening seminars. Thanks for coming to Kansas!
