"Invaluable information"
"Invaluable information, skills, and overall championship to excel my journey with my first horse!! Above and beyond just basic trail riding and guiding with reins, (stop and go). By watching my girl process, and us both learning how to communicate. Breaking down the stuff she was taught, (not taught) and how to fine tune, and properly correct and train her but more so myself."
