She was recently at Laurinburg, but only as a speaker, not doing a clinic, so I didn't go see her. I heard how many people showed up, but I've forgotten now. It sounded like it was a huge turnout. I'd love to audit one of her clinics, or if I win the lottery, I'd have her come here to do a private clinic. She's a natural teacher, very easy to understand, at least for me. She says that's her claim to fame, that she isn't a gifted rider and had to struggle hard to do what she did. I think the people for whom skills come easily typically can't teach very well - they just "do" without thinking. I bought her Cross Train Your Horse book right after it came out (10-12 years ago?) and I've been a fan of hers since. Karen Thomas, NC
