A breif outline of accomplishments of client horses trained at Dakota Winds Farm by Carolyn Aarup

Hi Carolyn – I have been driving in the fields for the last two weeks or so making excellent use of this lovely weather. Tank is behaving beautifully and is so patient and tolerant of me learning to hitch. He is softening on the right side and his transitions are getting much smoother. Of course, his stop is so nice and he backs beauti fully. I hope the weather holds out a bit longer so we can keep working and keep up this momentum. I have been doing ground work with him to continue to work on his flexibility <when the weather is not good enough to actually hitch him> with the hopes that as soon as the weather turns for the better and the footing is good I can start driving again. Thank you for the excellent work you did getting him started for me! I'm still tickled pink - right now, for me, he's the best horse in my barn! Again thank you so much for starting us out!

Take care,

Leanne Hopkins & Tank

Comet

 


June Spooner & her Miniature gelding "Comet" showing a t Meaford Fair's Miniature Horse Show, September 2008

"Carolyn, thank you so much for training Comet to be so easy to drive and a pleasure to be around. We are having so much fun driving all over the trails on our property; you even got him over his water phobia! Showing Comet at Meaford in my first Miniature Horse show was one of the best days of my life and I couldn't have done it without you! We are looking so forward to next year's show season".
