Hi Terry,

I sure felt like you were speaking directly to me with regards to the feed appearing through the hole!! lol!! But that was before....
You have no idea how much all of your words sunk in during our riding lessons. Every time I'm around Stuey I thank God for the time I spent with you and everything I learned (even though I'm sure it's just the tip of the iceberg). He's recovered nicely from his laminitis and we're back to riding again. I've been trying to work with him at least once a week (tough to do with the heat), and it's going very well. We stick to our field and don't go far, but we're going. I use the same routine you do - brush, clean feet, then tack up and Stuey seems to really enjoy it. We go a little further from the barn each time and I can feel he's really starting to trust me - and I know it's because my confidence level has increased and he can feel it.
I'm having a great time and a lot of fun with him and thank you so much for all of your advice and time!!!
Thanks Terry and hope you're having a great summer!!
Theresa

Terry,

Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart and Nipper's to. As you know, I lost my faithful friend Sysco to an unfortunate mishap a little while back. That is what brought me to buying my new horse Nipper. Nipper is quite different from Sysco but still reminds me of him in so many ways. I have had a long struggle with Nipper. I was afraid that we were not meant for each other, but, then my sister-in-law, Kim gave me your name and told me that I should contact you. A big thank you Kim. Terry you have shown me that Nipper needs me to be a strong leader, I still have a way to go with that but with your help Nipper and I will be fine. I had a wonderful time at Level 1 and Level 2 clinics. Level 2 was the best. I am so happy with the results. You and your assistants are all wonderful people and I am glad to have gotten to know all of you. You have given me my best friend back and that means a lot to me and Nipper. Nipper and I are looking forward to continuing lessons with you. You have taught me so much in such a short
time. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your help.
You are truly a wonderful instructor.
Sincerely,
Tammy and Nipper from Blain, PA

Hi Terry,

Just wanted to drop a quick line saying that your clinic on Saturday was fantastic! :)
I have really missed participating over the last year or so - but didnt realize HOW MUCH I MISSED COMING until I was there again this weekend.
Keeping Boone sound has been a struggle - but when/if I get him sound or I get a 2nd horse - I will definitely be coming to more lessons and clinics :)
Thanks for having me and thanks for helping everyone like you do :)
-Heidi

"Hi Terry, don't want to be a pest but just had to send a note to say a big "Thank you" for allowing me & Dudly to attend your level 1 clinic !! I had a million dollar day as far as the whole experience at the clinic. I learned so much I had a headache when i got home but also tears of joy because i was so happy Dudly did so good."
Virgil Gutshall Jr. from Blain, PA

"I really enjoyed participating in the clinic. Level 1 was an excellent review /reminder of properly communicating with the horse in a manner he understands and hence connected to the riding sequence ( level 2). Riding was well worth it for many reasons - especially focusing on what you and your partner area supposed to be doing as a team !."
Rebecca Takacs from Halifax, PA

"Who would ever believe this is the same pushy, ill mannered yearling I started bringing down there just a summer ago? Pretty good results with the Shrake/Peiper methods, I think!! Can't wait for the clinic! Hoping for decent weather!!"
Tonda Lewis from Millerstown, PA

"I was SOOOOO excited, it was great! I have seen so many little changes in her since Saturday, that its incredible. Can't wait til you have another clinic. Thanks again for everything, I feel like I have a new horse!"
Heidi Seifert from Fayetteville, PA

"Many Thanks to you & Micki for a wonderful day. The Level 1 clinic on May 19th was just awesome! You provided me with the basics I needed. Such simple things can make a huge difference. I really appreciate the use of your 'rhythm collector' and can't wait to use one in my own training routine. I expect to be back later in the year to continue on to a Level 2 clinic. See you then!"

Some of Terry's beliefs:

    There are no quick fixes
    Learning to be a good rider is a life long process
    Owning a horse is a lot of hard work, a huge commitment and expensive
    If you are not training your horse he is training you
    You can't train a horse in 30 days
    Green on green makes black and blue
    Be as gentle as possible but as firm as necessary
    Nothing forced is beautiful
    The Boss controls the food
    If you want your horse to move his feet, move your feet 


Terry is available for lessons Monday-Friday 9am-7pm and on Saturdays 9am-5pm in the winter. The indoor and outdoor arenas provide year round opportunity for training. Terry is dedicated to her mission of "Helping Horses with Their People" She welcomes visitors by appointment to meet her students, horses and to watch training lessons.
