Shout It Out to the World

0508_05

By Erin Glassman

Recently, I had several friends wanting to take private lessons with the Method, so I arranged to have Shayla Smock, a Professional Clinician with Downunder Horsemanship, travel to my place near Hutchinson, Kansas.  Every one of us had a fantastic time learning from Shayla, not only the five other participants and myself, but the other people that came out to audit.  Shayla is the utmost professional and knows her material extremely well. She did a fantastic job of communicating to the group and we all had a fantastic time. We will definitely have her back and look forward to the next go!

For myself, even though I have been through the Fundamentals at different clinics several times, I truly enjoyed going through them again. I used a different horse this time and gained several valuable pointers on a handful of things I was having a little trouble with. As always with a review, I picked up several different angles that are already helping me with my horsemanship.  I would love to shout out to the world that not only is it valuable to learn the basics, but even if you’ve been through it, every chance you get to review and learn is worth every penny. I look forward to many future encounters with Shayla and any of the great clinicians that Clinton has produced.
