Master your Intermediate R+ horse training skills at our upcoming summer clinic. Have you ever wondered how to use positive reinforcement without creating a treat monster? Do you have trouble catching your horse sometimes? What about standing still at the mounting block? Or getting them moving when they don't want to, like over a bridge or into a trailer? You will learn all of this and so much more, all using the scientifically proven best method of animal training. Join us at ResqRanch from July 17th-19th, 2026, for a hands-on session designed to refine your techniques and build a stronger connection with your horse. We are opening spots for riders eager to advance their practice, and scholarships are available for those who qualify. Email info@resqranch.org today to secure your spot before registration closes. Bring your horse or practice the techniques using one of ours. Can't wait to see you!

Today I am grateful for the lovely Sunday we had yesterday. We did a lot of cleaning in the barn and prepared an entire new indoor training area for the upcoming clinics.

Today I am grateful for the sunrise.

Today I am grateful for fans in this oppressive heat.

Today I am grateful for the electricity to run those fans, and for the running water which is such a life saver right now.

I am grateful for my kids, who not only went grocery shopping for me, but also made me dinner and cleaned it all up. I am very blessed indeed.

What about you Animal Loving Angel? It's the start of a new week, it's time to take a moment to be grateful, and, to think about what we hope to achieve this week, and what our reward to ourself will be for achieving that goal. Go ahead, take a moment right now, to close your eyes, take a deep breath, and see in your mind, the goal, and the reward. Who will be there to cheer you on? If no one else, then, YOU, in the mirror!

Have a wonderful, productive, abundant Monday, & do something kind for someone expecting nothing in return.

All my love,

​DrQ
