Motivation from Moshi
Today I read a motivational tip, here is the part I want to share "If Jane corrects me, she always follows up by "retesting" me with the same question. The retest gives me the opportunity to be rewarded for doing things right." LOL, me I was thinking retesting was to double check you fixed a problem, thinking of retesting as a opportunity to praise my horse? It gives such positive feelings when you are retesting, you and your horse both feel the positive emotions.
Join a motivational email list, it is amazing how it helps keep you up beat and how much you can learn. Can I suggest Motivation from Moshi?

Phone Tree
Tessa had a beautiful dun filly, Ginger, early Saturday morning.
Are you wondering how this concerns a phone tree? I've only bred 3 mares, the first mare stayed at a friends, since Tammy knew what she doing and the mare was at her place, it was a great introduction. The next mare did great, 3 weeks late :-) very text book, this foal is now 5 years old. Third time the foal was big and not positioned right and didn't make it. Its been a few years since I have done the whole foal raising thing. Anything not text book gets the phone tree activated. So I've talked to 2 friends a lot the last 3 days. Cori has had lots foals, she glances and says thats normal :-), Pam is very knowledgeable about holistic options for horses. Every non text book item gets the phone tree activated. Don't be afraid to pickup the phone and ask your friend for their knowledge and input. Its not tradies, its not a bother, what it is, is how you include your friends in what is going on in your life.
