Some of you may have read the dialogue I had with Donna Rock yesterday on the blog. Donna posted a video or herself which reminded me of these other two. Donna is an amazing person, be around her for only a few minutes and you [...]
So I am looking over my registrations for the upcoming Novice camp this week and I don't quite get it. Why do people trip over themselves to get into a masters camp (we have been full for some time for our July Masters camp) but [...]
My observations from the Ontario regionals this week can be summed up by a comment I am borrowing from a friend. I was talking to a business colleague yesterday and he used the phrase "Buck Fever." He spoke about how a marksman on the practice [...]
Another Ontario Regionals has been put to bed. The rain, wind, hail and 9 degree temperature made us all very grateful for the bit of blue sky we saw on occasion on Sunday afternoon. Our championships up here in Canada are geared towards consistency across the Jumpers, [...]

Hey guys, thanks for the awesome contribution of the motivational quotes added to Friday's blog post. There are some real gems there I am for sure going to add to my growing list. Encore, Feature and I spent the weekend at a CKC trial. Saturday was [...]
I love motivational quotes. They really do it for me, if you know what I mean. For the last 25 years I have been a big fan of Zig Zigler, Norman Vincent Peale and legendary Basketball coach, John Wooden. Here are some of my favorite [...]
We had a full day of handling here yesterday and another one planned for today. Double box times two! Yesterday was a group of mostly high drive dogs, 11 of the 14 being over-the-top Border Collies. For the most part, all of the dogs worked very [...]
