Because this post is so long in coming, and thus, no longer news, I'll endeavor to keep this entry to a brief overview.

Featured presenters and clinicians at the Pomona Equine Affaire including the following:
Monty Roberts, Craig Cameron, Linda Allen, Richard Shrake, Stacy Westfall, Mark Rashid, Linda Tellington-Jones, Charlotte Bredahl-Baker, Allen Pogue, Linda Hiby, and many more.

Clinics and demos included breed exhibitions, saddle fitting, trick training, horsekeeping and health care, conformation, rider fitness, equine acupressure and herbal medicine, and of course training for all disciplines and styles.

Hiatus and a Correction

The long hiatus was unanticipated, and I'm sorry if anyone was put-out by it. The only reason for it was that in spite of the slowing economy, business has blossomed for me - I'm currently riding/training 12 horses a week, teaching 15 hours of riding instruction, while helping to manage two different facilities, and taking 9 college units at night. I thank God that I have the ability to do what I do for a living, but it does rather limit my internet time. So again, I'm sorry if anyone was annoyed by a lack of posts.

Also, a correction to my first post regarding the Vetrolin Shine coat spray. The old label stated that the product did not contain any silicone. However, a friend of mine contacted the manufacturer and found out that the product now contains 15% silicone, a chance which was not reflected on the new label.
