Oh yes! The training comes with as many lessons as I want. I took a clinic with him this summer, and I REALLY liked him. His philosophy matches mine. Plus, he did a colt starting demo the second morning, and I was so impressed with him, that's when the idea came to mind. But then, I was still adamant about starting Andi myself - untill I came off my 3rd ride - and that was when Andi was being led. I then realized that I can not control my "tension" especially where my butt makes contact with the saddle. So, I decided to let this man put the first 30 days of riding on Andi because he will be relaxed and I will not. I know 30 days is not much, but I have already done most of the preliminary work - he will fill in my gaps of course - then I will take over the training. I am basically sending him to get used to carrying a rider's weight. I don't have a problem with the training, but I want a relaxed "start" under saddle.
