So I finally got back from the Chris Cox clinic. For those poor souls out there who do not know who Chris Cox is, he is a world class horse trainer. And I got to see him in person for all three days of the clinic. Best of all, it was all free.
Some parts of the clinic were really boring, sitting there for eight hours can mentally drain you. But it was fascinating to learn from this guy. I am now really excited to go outside and try these new tips that I picked up on my own horse.
I found out that I was right on a lot of the theories I had for training my horse, and all this time I had been told that I was wrong. So along with the extra knowledge that I picked up, I now have a small boost in my confidence in training my horse.
We also had to buy some of his videos, and ended up buying I think 18-20 videos. Don't ask how much that cost, no really, you do not want to know. So now I can immerse myself in horsy goodness and hopefully perfect my performance horse. Kat(her name is actually spelled with a K) is an athlete and was born from some of the top performance horses out there, and I know that we have not gotten her to her full potential yet. Hopefully these videos will help me reach that.
The one thing that drove me morbidly insane however, was the immense amount of flies that were circling me and the other viewers. It reminded me of something similar to a black plague. I was half expecting to get carried off by the little suckers.
So after three days, the clinic is finally over, and I can return to my art life. I finished my last commissions, so all slots are open again, and I can get my butt to work.
