Zoe from Lincolnshire asks Melanie:
Hello Melanie, I’ve stumbled across your website after searching for local natural horsemanship lessons. I have recently taken a lovely pony on loan, she is a cob with a hint of Arab(!) which makes her sensitive and spooky. I’ve been riding a long time but am no expert – I would love to create a parelli/MR type relationship with my mare so that we could do groundwork together that would enable her to relax when we ride and become less spooky.
She is kept in North Somercotes near Louth in Lincolnshire – I have limited travel options at the moment, could you let me know if you would be interested in spending some time with Misty and I to get a great grounding in these techniques?
I look forward to hearing from you, thanks Zoe
Melanie’s Response:
Hi Zoe. I will happily come over for a day to work with you both…..or you could come here, either with or without your horse, for a day.
Come the summer you could bring your horse and keep her here for a few days and have a thoroughly horsey few days. You would work with other horses for part of the time . See what you think. Kind regards Melanie

Hi Melanie
I have a 16h 9yr old gelding ex race horse whom i have owned for 4yrs. Over the yrs i have gained more and more trust with him. Recently got saddle fitted by Philip Howard and backed checked by Meave Grant recommended by Debbie Marsden.He is a loving gentle horse but backward thinking,he seems to tighten up when put saddle on and blow out when tighten girth, i do girth in 3-4 stages and walk to school.Also hesitates to let you mount,moves backwards side ways ect.once on given praise and is willing to work and shows no signs of bucking or rearing.I now have to use acp tabs for shoeing as a farrier whacked him and will not allow a farrier to shoe him without a fight, though anyone else can pick up his feet.When a negative happens we seem to take 20 steps back, though the negatives have happened with loaners/sharers, i am hoping for some useful hints to improve his insecurity and more forward thinking as he is a real joy to own and a safe calm ride.
regards angela&luke

The particular Rainforest Jumperoo is amazingly dependable, and also the round sustain construct gives it a great deal of jump room in your home whilst yet always keeping the idea tremendously strong. Some other pluses are definitely the halted wildlife, any revolving cushioned seat, and therefore the signifigant amounts for toys and games at the exterior rack with the jumperoo. We tend to witnessed this son’s handbook dexterity develop every day as they realized to manipulate each of the toy characters.

(There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
