...an informal, somewhat skewed opinion of one student's experience

Commencing on March 1st, 2005 nine women from various walks of life, different places and with widely varying horsemanship skills collected in an interesting little classroom on the grounds of the fabulous Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, in the heart of the BlueGrass. This is one participant's view of our six months together...	Margi has an enthusiastic approach to all things horse that is infectious and entertaining. Boy, does she have stories!  Our intrepid classroom Instructor, Margi Stickney, demonstrating how a foal passes through the mare's pelvis during the birthing process.
Lionel steadies Nancy from Walnut Hall as she calmly endured the ardor of Todd's beautiful paint stud , Summer. I have more pictures of this, and, NO, I will not email them to you, you naughty person.	Todd is another of our instructors and takes a very hands-on approach to his teaching style. You could say he goes the extra mile in order to edify us to the finer points of equine behavior. But seeing as how this is a family website we'll leave it to your imagination as to just how hands on this dude is. ;-) Our third instructor is Sherry, who is recovering from a lifetime of exuberantly grooming horses by enduring miscellaneous back surgeries - who would have been pictured here except the photo I took of her was real bad. She'll show up later.    Luna, the Big Barn buddy doing what she does best, besides mousin'. When nobody's looking, I plan on stealing these treasures to see what if I can get enough for them on eBay to buy me a nice horsie! Wait a second, I shouldn't be saying that here.
