Speak Easy was out of the TB mare we had, Sour Cream xx. She was the dam of our foals Speak Sweetly, Speak Up, Speak Again, Speak No Evil & Speak Love!

Remember this?

In 1983 Alex Jayne rode Mr. and Mrs. Alex Jayne’s Speak Easy to the low hunter, IHJA hunter and first year green hunter championships at Ledges Winter Show in Roscoe, Ill. John Jackson Photo

An amazing feeling!!!

THE proper way a horse collects and 'gets on the bit'.
No contraption, bit, or gimmick can teach this. It's about proper biomechanics and teaching the horse to balance themselves.

True!!!

At clinics, rarely do I get to help people with advanced work (even if they think they are ready for it) because usually the basics are “ok”. When you try to build advanced movements out of “ok” basics you end up with trouble in that movement.

Basics are hard, mostly because they can seem ok, but it’s the details that matter.

I was recently chatting with a friend who is an Olympic showjumping coach. He has competed at 3 Olympic Games and has coached his National team at 3 others.

I said to him “ you do lots of clinics around the world, do you ever run into people that can jump say, a metre, but want to jump higher, but in order to jump higher you have to take them back to the start, back to ground rails ?”

“All the time”, he said. “I rarely encounter anyone who wants to jump higher and is ready for it.”

Once you get the basics really good, the “hard” things are actually easy. It sounds completely backwards to most people, but once you get your head around it, the game changes completely.

They paint a picture in their minds of how traits might match up to form a perfect foal. Though not exactly custom made as potential offspring are con...
