More photos coming to this page soon and others can be found thoughout this website.
 Naz and her horses - jumping Katie B, Pacha on the left, Horace on the right, Jack and Saffie, bottom left and right respectively.
"Back to the front, front to your ears,
Speed at a 5, and will you twitch your ears?
Kneel down - create my V, bum in the middle to balance Katie B,
Hands independent of body - not mind, on a wheel from her withers, firm but kind.
Next I want you straight, so hard for you to do,
Your head looks all around and your feet just follow you!
So now I want your crest, and lift the hollow of your back,
So that you look your best, even on a hack.
As I lift one rein, weirdly to my ear,
People look with pain, at the rider on your rear,
But we don't care, coz we did a course,
with Becky C who taught the CLICK RE-ENFORCE!
Without her I don't know where I'd be,
Maybe living a life that's horse free :-
I travel miles just to have this lady, work with darling Saff & my Feisty Katie.
With gorgeous Horace and his long eye lashes,
& my sweet Pich Pach who was starved by a fascist.
And then she took my boy to school, my stunning black with the ear splitting call.
He'd toss his head & his long mane, as he pranced around,
"Look at me!" so vain!
I was desperate to ride him, to feel his paces,
but Pacha's arrival got his heart a racin'!
The 3rd day dawned and she said, "Let's do it, get on Jack, there's nothing to it!
"So grinning stupidly from ear to ear, with butterflies in my belly, I whipsered in his ear...
"Take care of me Jack, I've been waiting so long to sit on your back!"
"Capture the Saddle", he stood by the block, perfectly balanced, steady as a rock,
I gently put my foot in one stirrup..then 2, I'm finally up here...want to shout WOOHOO!
He felt amazing, incredible, the BEST!
Thank you Becky, I feel so blessed xxx
