Following on from something Horse of Course said I've been thinking about how much I've learned since moving to France 3 yrs ago. When we moved here I knew nobody, especially anyone with horses. I'd corresponded with Trudi who's since become a good friend and a constant source of help and information, thanks Trudi.
I missed the stimulation of the yard, the reassurance of having people around to discuss things with, ride out, just general support. I turned to the internet, dusted off my horsey books and gradually got to know many other horsey people in the area. It has opened my mind to different methods of training, different ways of interacting with horses. I find that I now have the support that I need, which gives me confidence and inspiration. So I'd like to say thanks to my friends and fellow bloggers.
Had a good day with Anky and Remy today. I'll write it up later.

No - thanks to you - it's always interesting and inspiring to read about your thoughtful approach to working with your horses!
trudi is great, isn't she....
i know what you mean about lack of bodies about, very scary i imagine it must be at first!
oh er I'm all pink with embarrassment...Di you're a great mate and the flux goes both ways, it's lovely to have found a like minded friend, believe me. I miss the yard scene too (well some bits) but the blogger crowd are a real help...thanks all.
And thank you too, Di!
I understand you miss your yard.
But what I find is very stimulating with the "internet yard" is that it is more divers.
And it is there at your fingertips when it is convenient too, lol!
