Fairwind's first clinic
« on: February 17, 2009, 03:39:27 PM »

Fairwind has been under saddle for about 4 months now and gelded last month.  I took him to a clinic with my trainer's tranier (I call him, my butt kicker's butt kicker), and he was a ROCK STAR!!! 

The clinician was Hans Biss and he is a tough cookie (old school, German BR)!  About 10 minutes in he says over the loud speaker "Das Trakehnen???"  I said YES, TRAKEHNER, CRAZY TRAKEHNER!
The boy just went in and did his job, no muss, no fuss.

Not bad for a first outing.  Smiley

Yes, where are the pics?  Did Hans have anything to say after you confirmed that he was a Trakehner?  Of course, being from Germany, he doesn't have the old prejudices that many Americans still have.  Just gives me goosebumps that he could pick out that Fairwind was a Trakehner.

Second (or third or fourth) the request for pictures!  And I love the story.

I am a bad mommy and did not get any pictures.  I will try to take some this weekend and then I will ask Anissa to post them for me. Smiley  I can't ever seem to get that right!
