Sending prayers to Dick Jenkins and family.

This man has been a cornerstone in my career and a very close friend for many years. He owned DBL Z Primara, a top ten halter mare who he sent to me for trainining and she became my first regionallly successful western horse and later the dam of SF Georgia, whom Dick bred. SF Georgia went on to become my first US National champion, as Dick continued to support my young and growing career. He has been a long time breeder of some incredible Arabian horses including Midnight Magnum, also one of my US National Champion Western Pleasure JR Horses and sire to many nationally successful horses. Dick believed in me and supported me through many ups and downs in my career and I can’t imagine what my life and business would look like without this man and his family constantly having my back. He has suffered from Parkinson’s disease for many years and has taken a decline recently.

I hope to make it home in time to say goodbye, but if not… Dick, it’s been a wild ride and I’m so glad this crazy life brought us together.

Please send your prayers to their family for peace and grace during this difficult time.

Please remember that we will be removing the first week of Gangsta's training on Saturday, April 4th. We are working on getting DVDs made of the first 30 days and will have them available for purchase as soon as possible for everyone.

I got a lot of great feedback on the questions I asked yesterday and based on what everyone has said across all the pages I posted it on I will continue to film every day so that you all are able to see the progress and to ensure that nothing is missed. I will also be going forward with the DVD packs. At the moment I am hoping to keep the price around $35+shipping for the first 30 days, but this is contingent upon the cost of the materials so it may change. Once I have the DVDs made and ready to ship out I will begin phasing the first 30 days off of YouTube to make room for the next 30 days (which I will begin posting soon). With that being said, I will probably be creating a highlight video of the first 30 days to show content and possibly have "preview" clips of each day. While removing the videos is not ideal, it will help to minimize the clutter and give me the ability to review them and figure out a new labeling system.

I would also like to apologize to those of you having difficulty navigating the videos, but it would be incredibly time consuming for me to go through all of them and do weekly reviews or film new segments just to go over a certain technique I used during a video. Our barn is constantly busy training young horses and working with clients and regrettably I just don't have the extra time for it. Samantha will be going through some of the videos to update their descriptions and add tags while they are still available on YouTube, but please understand this process is very time consuming. Each of the videos is on average 20 minutes long and she will have to re-watch each one in its entirety, take notes, rewrite descriptions and tags, etc. Each video could take a minimum of 45 minutes to update. She is a part of our training program as well and does not always have the time to devote to an undertaking like that.

We will do our best for you all because we enjoy being able to share this experience with everyone and we love to see what you have taken from the videos and how far your horses have come! Thank you for continuing to watch and ask questions. We greatly appreciate all of you!

Good Evening Everyone!

I have a big question for you all about the new set of videos I am getting ready to start (Day 31-60).

Would you prefer to see videos every day or once a week? Maybe every other day? I am trying to figure out a way to best format the videos for you all. I am also thinking about selling DVD packs of the first 30 days which would probably include some extras or "special features". I know that some of you have a hard time getting the videos to load in a timely manner with them being on YouTube at the moment. If you could let me know if you are interested I will be making a decision on that in the next few weeks.

I will probably be posting questions like this every once in awhile since I have some ideas but would like to see what you all think before we really go through with them.

As always, thank you for your continued support!
